Description

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Samples were derived during the Medea 2 research expedition on the RV Pelagia (Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ)) to the north-temperate, subpolar and polar North Atlantic and the Norwegian Sea. The RV Pelagia traveled from the Porcupine Plains west to the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone (CGFZ), then turned northeast, and crossed over the Faroe Ridge into the Norwegian Sea.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.
