Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

CTD clean rosette (Niskin) bottles were used to collect water samples.

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.

Trace Metal Bottle

Supplied Description:

Trace metal (TM) clean rosette bottles were used to collect water samples.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Trace Metal Bottle

Acronym: TM Bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/30/

Generic Description:

Trace metal (TM) clean rosette bottle used for collecting trace metal clean seawater samples.
