Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

   PI:              Bob Anderson
   of:              Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
   dataset:         radionuclides, GoFlo water bottle samples
   dates:           November 02, 1992 to December 07, 1992
   location:        N: 8.9433  S: -11.9598  W: -140.1463  E: -134.9498
   project/cruise:  EqPac/TT013, Benthic survey
   ship:            R/V Thomas Thompson
 
   Methodology
 
   Notes:
   The principal investigator has arranged the data to display vertical
   profiles at nominal geographic station locations. The composite profiles
   have been assembled from two or more casts within a given station/location
   and an individual sample can be a composite drawn from two or more bottles.

Instruments

GO-FLO Bottle

Supplied Name: Go-flo Bottle

Supplied Description:

GoFlo bottles used to collect water samples

Instrument Type

Generic Name: GO-FLO Bottle

Acronym: GO-FLO

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/30/

Generic Description:

GO-FLO bottle cast used to collect water samples for pigment, nutrient, plankton, etc. The GO-FLO sampling bottle is specially designed to avoid sample contamination at the surface, internal spring contamination, loss of sample on deck (internal seals), and exchange of water from different depths.

Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer

Supplied Name: Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry

Supplied Description:

Thermal Ionization mass spectrometry used to measure thorium isotopes and Pa-231

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer

Acronym: TI Mass Spec

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB16/

Generic Description:

A Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer (TIMS) is an instrument that measures isotopic ratios after electrical excitation of a sample causes ionization of the isotopes.
