Description

Niskin bottle data from cruise AE1104. Note: Until 26 November 2012 this cruise was identified by BIOS and R2R as AE-X1103. On 26 November 2012, the cruise ID was corrected by BIOS and R2R to be the new cruise ID AE1104. This change was also made at BCO-DMO on 26 November 2012.

Short Name: CTD SBE 911plus

Community Standard Description

Generic Description

The Sea-Bird SBE 911plus is a type of CTD instrument package for continuous measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure. The SBE 911plus includes the SBE 9plus Underwater Unit and the SBE 11plus Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9plus and SBE 11plus is called a SBE 911plus. The SBE 9plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9plus CTD can be configured with up to eight auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Niskin bottle

(more info)

Short Name: Niskin bottle

Community Standard Description

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.
