Instrument Description:

The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. The MOCNESS-1/4 carries nine 1/4-m2 nets usually of 64 micrometer mesh and is used to sample the larger micro-zooplankton.

Dataset-specific description

Had trouble communicating with the 1/4 m2 MOCNESS in the beginning of the first cruise.  Picked up replacement parts and were able to get it working again with an underwater unit borrowed from BESS, the manufacturer of  the MOCNESS system. (Subsequent analysis by BESS, Inc. showed that some damage to the underwater unit was caused when it was plugged into the sea cable with some charge still in the cable --  most likely from the Seabird deck unit still turned on.) -- from the Cruise Report
