 project/cruise:  SOFeX/USCGC Polar Star (WAGB-10) cruise: PS02


Methodology: bottle cast (BC) samples were collected with the WHOI logger system;
    details are available (here)
  
PI Note:  SF6 data are preliminary from Leah Houghton and Laura Goldson

Data Processing Description

Change history: YYMMDD
    060510: original data received from Ken Buesseler (WHOI);
    070208: added to OCB database by Cyndy Chandler, OCB DMO, (cchandler@whoi.edu)
    070227: cchandler, OCB DMO, added yrDay, lat and lon from event log 
  
 OCB DMO Note: 
    070208: use event to retrieve geospatial- temporal- data from event log

Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT 19

Supplied Name: CTD Seabird 19

Supplied Description:

bottle cast (BC) samples were collected using 10L bottles on Kevlar with the Polar Star CTD logger on end of line

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT 19

Acronym: CTD SBE 19

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0042/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 19 SEACAT Recorder measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth). The SEACAT is self-powered and self-contained and can be deployed in profiling or moored mode. The SBE 19 SEACAT was replaced in 2001 by the 19plus. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

used with the WHOI logger system

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.
