   DMO Notes:
   All samples are extracted from multicores.  Data are displayed as a
   summary at a nominal geographic location.  The summary consists of
   samples from one or more cores or stations.  Sample size is 0.5 cm
   except for the sample at 9.5 cm which is a 1 cm sample.

Instruments

Multi Corer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multi Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The Multi Corer is a benthic coring device used to collect multiple, simultaneous, undisturbed sediment/water samples from the seafloor. Multiple coring tubes with varying sampling capacity depending on tube dimensions are mounted in a frame designed to sample the deep ocean seafloor. For more information, see Barnett et al. (1984) in Oceanologica Acta, 7, pp. 399-408.

Parameters

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