Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird 9

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird 9

Acronym: CTD SBE 9

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 9 is a type of CTD instrument package. The SBE 9 is the Underwater Unit and is most often combined with the SBE 11 Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) when deployed from a research vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 and SBE 11 is called a SBE 911. The SBE 9 uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 and SBE 4). The SBE 9 CTD can be configured with auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorometer, altimeter, etc.). Note that in most cases, it is more accurate to specify SBE 911 than SBE 9 since it is likely a SBE 11 deck unit was used. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

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.

Plankton Net

Supplied Name: gel-net

Supplied Description:

1) Gel-net, towed vertically, for gelatinous zooplankton collection

2) Zooplankton net, 64 micron mesh

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Plankton Net

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/22/

Generic Description:

A Plankton Net is a generic term for a sampling net that is used to collect plankton. It is used only when detailed instrument documentation is not available.

Pump

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Bellows pump attached to CTD with hose for collecting bivalve larvae caught on a 64 micron mesh.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Pump

Generic Description:

A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps

Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Acronym: SBE-43 DO

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0036/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor is a redesign of the Clark polarographic membrane type of dissolved oxygen sensors. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Sea-Bird SBE-3 Temperature Sensor

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE-3 Temperature Sensor

Acronym: SBE-3 Temperature

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/

Generic Description:

The SBE-3 is a slow response, frequency output temperature sensor manufactured by Sea-Bird Electronics, Inc. (Bellevue, Washington, USA). It has an initial accuracy of +/- 0.001 degrees Celsius with a stability of +/- 0.002 degrees Celsius per year and measures seawater temperature in the range of -5.0 to +35 degrees Celsius. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics

Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE-4 Conductivity Sensor

Acronym: SBE-4 Conductivity

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0417/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE-4 conductivity sensor is a modular, self-contained instrument that measures conductivity from 0 to 7 Siemens/meter. The sensors (Version 2; S/N 2000 and higher) have electrically isolated power circuits and optically coupled outputs to eliminate any possibility of noise and corrosion caused by ground loops. The sensing element is a cylindrical, flow-through, borosilicate glass cell with three internal platinum electrodes. Because the outer electrodes are connected together, electric fields are confined inside the cell, making the measured resistance (and instrument calibration) independent of calibration bath size or proximity to protective cages or other objects.

Secchi Disc

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Secchi Disc

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0430/

Generic Description:

Typically, a 16 inch diameter white/black quadrant disc used to measure water optical clarity

WetLabs FLNTU

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: WetLabs FLNTU

Acronym: FLNTU

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

The WetLabs ECO FLNTU is a dual-wavelength, single-angle sensor for simultaneously determining both chlorophyll fluorescence and turbidity. It detects light scattered by particles suspended in water, generating an output voltage proportional to turbidity or suspended solids. Scaling factors are used to convert the voltage readings to values representing chlorophyll concentration and turbidity expressed in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs).
