Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Phytoplankton Rates: µ0, µN, m (gross growth rate, nutrient-amended gross growth rate, and mortality rate, respectively): Phytoplankton growth and mortality rates were determined with seawater dilution experimental manipulations of freshly collected surface seawater as originally described in Landry & Hassett (1982), with modifications as described by Selph et al. (2005).

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing:

Instruments

Flow Cytometer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Flow Cytometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB37/

Generic Description:

Flow cytometers (FC or FCM) are automated instruments that quantitate properties of single cells, one cell at a time. They can measure cell size, cell granularity, the amounts of cell components such as total DNA, newly synthesized DNA, gene expression as the amount messenger RNA for a particular gene, amounts of specific surface receptors, amounts of intracellular proteins, or transient signalling events in living cells.

Fluorometer

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.
