Instrument: Roller Tank

Acronym:

Roller Tank

Description

Rolling tanks, which keep particles in suspension, thus simulating aggregate formation in situ.

Marine snow experiments are conducted in roller tanks, which turn continuously, keeping marine snow in suspension. It is important for marine snow not to touch surfaces. The rolling tanks, which keep particles in suspension, thus simulate aggregate formation in situ. Marine snow formation due to different types of oil was tested. Some treatments are easily identifiable as containing oil by their color (middle). UCSB, CA 2012.
