Description

Summary of samples collected by the Hydrothermal Organic Geochemistry (HOG) sampler on AT-4201 with ROV Jason, on dives J2_1107 through J2_1111, during R/V Atlantic cruise AT42-01, September 9 - October 1, 2018.

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Fluid samples were collected into either 2 L or 11 L kynar bags that were acid washed (10% HCl soak overnight, followed by through rinsing, overnight Milli-Q soak, and further rinsing). Sample for geochemistry were collected unammended. Samples for microbiology were pre-spiked with 13C-labeled formate, bicarbonate, or methane, or with preservative. Additional samples were collected by filtering fluids in situ through sterivex filters.

Average T refers to the average of the fluid temperature measured while the sample was being collected. Temperatures were measured with NKE Instrumentation Temperature sensors (P/N S2T6000-Ti-DH; P/N 60-07-326-002). "N.D." is no data.

Instruments

ROV Jason

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

The Hydrothermal Organic Geochemistry (HOG) sampler was designed to collect hydrothermal fluids for biogeochemical and microbiological analyses. It consists of seven 2-liter and two 11-liter sample chambers for natural abundance geochemistry connected to a titanium intake nozzle with an in situ temperature probe. A second titanium intake nozzle with an in situ temperature probe is connected to seven 2-liter sample chambers devoted to incubation experiments, and five Sterivex filters for trapping microbial cell-sized particles. The HOG Sampler was deployed on all but one dive and is described in more detail in the methods section of the cruise report. Temperatures were measured with NKE Instrumentation Temperature sensors (P/N S2T6000-Ti-DH; P/N 60-07-326-002).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: ROV Jason

Generic Description:

The Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Jason is operated by the Deep Submergence Laboratory (DSL) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). WHOI engineers and scientists designed and built the ROV Jason to give scientists access to the seafloor that didn't require them leaving the deck of the ship. Jason is a two-body ROV system. A 10-kilometer (6-mile) fiber-optic cable delivers electrical power and commands from the ship through Medea and down to Jason, which then returns data and live video imagery. Medea serves as a shock absorber, buffering Jason from the movements of the ship, while providing lighting and a bird’s eye view of the ROV during seafloor operations. During each dive (deployment of the ROV), Jason pilots and scientists work from a control room on the ship to monitor Jason’s instruments and video while maneuvering the vehicle and optionally performing a variety of sampling activities. Jason is equipped with sonar imagers, water samplers, video and still cameras, and lighting gear. Jason’s manipulator arms collect samples of rock, sediment, or marine life and place them in the vehicle’s basket or on "elevator" platforms that float heavier loads to the surface. More information is available from the operator site at URL.
