Dataset Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:
- added conventional header with dataset name, PI name, version date
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions
- replaced blank cells with ‘nd’ (no data)
- changed sign of longitude (lon) so negative values represent west

Instruments

CTD - profiler

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD - profiler

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) unit is an integrated instrument package designed to measure the conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) of the water column. The instrument is lowered via cable through the water column. It permits scientists to observe the physical properties in real-time via a conducting cable, which is typically connected to a CTD to a deck unit and computer on a ship. The CTD is often configured with additional optional sensors including fluorometers, transmissometers and/or radiometers. It is often combined with a Rosette of water sampling bottles (e.g. Niskin, GO-FLO) for collecting discrete water samples during the cast.

This term applies to profiling CTDs. For fixed CTDs, see https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/869934.

Fluorescence Microscope

Supplied Name: Epifluorescence microscope

Supplied Description:

Used to enumerate bacterial abundance

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorescence Microscope

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB06/

Generic Description:

Instruments that generate enlarged images of samples using the phenomena of fluorescence and phosphorescence instead of, or in addition to, reflection and absorption of visible light. Includes conventional and inverted instruments.

Liquid Scintillation Counter

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Used to count microbial cells

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Liquid Scintillation Counter

Acronym: LSC

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB21/

Generic Description:

Liquid scintillation counting is an analytical technique which is defined by the incorporation of the radiolabeled analyte into uniform distribution with a liquid chemical medium capable of converting the kinetic energy of nuclear emissions into light energy. Although the liquid scintillation counter is a sophisticated laboratory counting system used the quantify the activity of particulate emitting (ß and a) radioactive samples, it can also detect the auger electrons emitted from 51Cr and 125I samples.

Liquid scintillation counters are instruments assaying alpha and beta radiation by quantitative detection of visible light produced by the passage of rays or particles through a suitable scintillant incorporated into the sample.

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

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.

Shimadzu TOC-V Analyzer

Supplied Name: Shimadzu High Temperature Combustion system

Supplied Description:

Used to measure non-purgeable Organic Carbon (NPOC) and Total Dissolved Nitrogen (TDN)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Shimadzu TOC-V Analyzer

Acronym: Shimadzu TOC-V

Community Identifier: http://onto.nerc.ac.uk/CAST/124

Generic Description:

A Shimadzu TOC-V Analyzer measures DOC by high temperature combustion method.
