Methods & Sampling

   of:            Skidaway Institute of Oceanography
   dataset:       Neutral lipid fluxes, Moored Indented Rotary Sphere sediment trap samples
   dates:         February 3, 1992 to December 13, 1992
   location:      N: 9  S: 0  W: -140  E: -140  
   project:       EqPac
   cruise/ship:   R/V Wecoma W9201B, Sediment trap mooring deployment
 
   Methodology:  Sediment trap material was filtered onto 90 mm glass fiber
   filters (A/E) and frozen.  Filters with trap material and sediments were
   Soxhlet extracted with methylene chloride-methanol (2:1) and the extracts
   partitioned into the organic phase with 5% NaCl.  The "lipid extracts"
   were saponified with 0.5N KOH/methanol, with "neutral lipids" extracted
   out of basic solution and "acids" extracted out of acidic solution.
   Neutral lipids were silylated with BSTFA and fatty acids were methylated
   with diazomethane.  Anaylsis was by gas chromatography and gas
   chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Sediment Trap - IRS

Supplied Name: IRS Sediment Trap

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sediment Trap - IRS

Acronym: Sed Trap - IRS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/33/

Generic Description:

Sediment traps are specially designed containers deployed in the water column for periods of time to collect particles from the water column falling toward the sea floor. In general a sediment trap has a jar at the bottom to collect the sample and a broad funnel-shaped opening at the top with baffles to keep out very large objects and help prevent the funnel from clogging. The Indented Rotating Sphere (IRS) Sediment Trap is described in Peterson et al. (Field evaluation of a valved sediment trap. 1993. Limnology and Oceanography, 38, pp. 1741-1761 and Novel techniques for collection of sinking particles in the ocean and determining their settling rates. 2005. Limnology and Oceanography Methods 3, pp. 520-532). The IRS trap consists of four cylindrical modules; a particle interceptor, an IRS valve; a skewed funnel, and an eleven sample carousel (designated IRSC trap). The key to the trap design is the patented IRS valve located between the particle interceptor and particle accumulator portions of the trap. The valve and carousel are regulated by a TattleTale IVA (manufactured by Onset Computer Corp.) microprocessor and custom software. The IRS sediment trap was specifically designed to exclude zooplankton (Trull et al. 2008. Deep-Sea Research II v.55 pp. 1684-1695).
