Description

This dataset includes notes on each Niskin bottle sample collected on EN556 and EN584 and what the water was used for.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

For mesocosm (large volume) incubation experiments (referred to as “LV” incubations), a 30L Niskin bottle rosette was used to collect the water. Separate casts were used to collect surface water, bottom water, and water from the depth at which oxygen showed a minimum, according to the CTD.

Data 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
- added cruise_id, split statoni and cast into separte columns

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: 30 liter Niskin bottles

Supplied Description:

Used to collect water for large volume mesocosm experiments

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.
