Instrument: Bottom Sediment Grab Samplers

Acronym: BSGS
External Identifier: skos:broadMatch: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/50/

Description

These samplers are designed to collect an accurate representative sample of the sediment bottom. The bite of the sampler should be deep enough so all depths are sampled equally. The closing mechanism is required to completely close and hold the sample as well as prevent wash-out during retrieval. Likewise, during descent the sampler should be designed to minimize disturbance of the topmost sediment by the pressure wave as it is lowered to the bottom.
