McLane pumps log deployed on the R/V Atlantis CliOMZ AT50-10 expedition from Golfito Costa Rica to San Diego USA that occurred in May - June of 2023.

Abstract:

This is the log for the McLane pumps deployed on the R/V Atlantis CliOMZ AT50-10 expedition from Golfito Costa Rica to San Diego USA that occurred in May - June of 2023. The log contains metadata associated with each pump deployment, including location, pump depth, and time. The pumps were launched on 1/4" kevlar line spooled on a MASH2K winch from the East Coast Winch Pool. The Science party included members from WHOI, UCSB, UTGRV, and Clark University.

Methods & Sampling

Seven Large Volume Water Transfer Systems (McLane pumps) were deployed during research cruise AT50-10 attached to a synthetic wire using a MASH2K winch and a dual filter sampler system. Deployments lasted 3 or 4 hours and seawater was filtered at specific depths. A combination of 0.2 um Supor membranes and 51 um pore size Nitex mesh was used for one side while the other side pump water through a Glass Fiber Filter (GFF). See data log for specific size fraction combination as well as specific samples taken.

Problems/Issues

Cast # 20 was programmed to the incorrect starting time due to a change of time zone from -6 to -7 GMT and therefore pumped in the wrong depth for one hour. Two McLane pump deployments were not added to the ELOG before the end of the cruise (Cast 20 and Cast 21), therefore, coordinates for those two activities were determined based on the corresponding Clio deployment at the same station (CLIO049 and CLIO050 respectively).

Data Processing Description

The depths for McLane pumps (which lack pressure sensors) were calculated based on winch payout and a calibration curve generated aboard ship. The need for calibration arises from the MASH2K winch not being used with metallic wire for this application. By using (non-conducting) synthetic wire for trace metal clean needs, the wire wraps are not predictably uniform as with metallic wire. As a result and the MASH2K instrument borrowed from the East Coast Winch Pool was not programmed for depths using synthetic wire. To compensate for this the McLane pump payout calibration was estimated using the Trace Metal rosette deployed with a SSSG Pinger, with depth from the ship and the winch payout recorded at 17 intervals between 0 and 4287 meters. A power law relationship was calculated from this relationship by Tristan Horner where: True Payout = Raw Payout / ( 1.34 x Raw Payout^-0.026 ). This equation had a mean absolute standard deviation of 5m for the 17 depths recorded, with depth variance increasing with depth. This equation was applied to the payout readings from the winch when used for McLane pumps to calculate the deployment Depth (m) parameter.

Instruments

McLane Large Volume Pumping System WTS-LV

Supplied Name: Large Volume Water Transfer Systems (McLane pumps)

Supplied Description:

Seven Large Volume Water Transfer Systems (McLane pumps; McLane labs: https://mclanelabs.com/wts-lv-large-volume-pump/) were deployed during research cruise AT50-10 attached to a synthetic wire using a MASH2K winch and a dual filter sampler system. A combination of 0.2 um Supor membranes and 51 um pore size Nitex mesh was used for one side while the other side pump water through a Glass Fiber Filter (GFF).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: McLane Large Volume Pumping System WTS-LV

Acronym: WTS-LV

Generic Description:

The WTS-LV is a Water Transfer System (WTS) Large Volume (LV) pumping instrument designed and manufactured by McLane Research Labs (Falmouth, MA, USA). It is a large-volume, single-event sampler that collects suspended and dissolved particulate samples in situ.

Ambient water is drawn through a modular filter holder onto a 142-millimeter (mm) membrane without passing through the pump. The standard two-tier filter holder provides prefiltering and size fractioning. Collection targets include chlorophyll maximum, particulate trace metals, and phytoplankton. It features different flow rates and filter porosity to support a range of specimen collection. Sampling can be programmed to start at a scheduled time or begin with a countdown delay. It also features a dynamic pump speed algorithm that adjusts flow to protect the sample as material accumulates on the filter. Several pump options range from 0.5 to 30 liters per minute, with a max volume of 2,500 to 36,000 liters depending on the pump and battery pack used. The standard model is depth rated to 5,500 meters, with a deeper 7,000-meter option available. The operating temperature is -4 to 35 degrees Celsius.

The WTS-LV is available in four different configurations: Standard, Upright, Bore Hole, and Dual Filter Sampler. The high-capacity upright WTS-LV model provides three times the battery life of the standard model. The Bore-Hole WTS-LV is designed to fit through a narrow opening such as a 30-centimeter borehole. The dual filter WTS-LV features two vertical intake 142 mm filter holders to allow simultaneous filtering using two different porosities.
