   PI-Notes:
   Samples obtained from 30 liter Go-Flo bottles, 26 liters of water filtered
   through a modified Buchner funnel with 20 um nitex mesh screen.
   Samples were preserved with 20% buffered formalin.  Strontium chloride was
   added to aid with acantharian preservation.  Samples stored in dark and
   refrigerated.

Instruments

GO-FLO Bottle

Supplied Name: Go-flo Bottle

Supplied Description:

30 liter Go-Flo bottles were 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.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
