   Methodology: Findlay, R.H., and F.C. Dobbs. 1993. Quantitative
   description of microbial communities using lipid
   analysis.  Chapter 32 in Handbook of Methods in Aquatic
   Microbal Ecology.  (P.F. Kemp, B.F. Sherr, E.B. Sherr,
   and J.J. Cole, editors), pp. 271-284.

   DMO Notes:
   All samples are extracted from multicores.  Data are displayed as a
   summary at a nominal geographic location.  The summary consists of
   samples from one or more cores or stations.  Sample size is 0.5 cm
   except for the sample at 9.5 cm which is a 1 cm sample.

Instruments

Multi Corer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multi Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The Multi Corer is a benthic coring device used to collect multiple, simultaneous, undisturbed sediment/water samples from the seafloor. Multiple coring tubes with varying sampling capacity depending on tube dimensions are mounted in a frame designed to sample the deep ocean seafloor. For more information, see Barnett et al. (1984) in Oceanologica Acta, 7, pp. 399-408.
