attribute	NC_GLOBAL	acquisition_description	String	This data set is derived from displacement volume measurements and dry weight conversion calculations. The MOCNESS-1 plankton sampler has nine rectangular nets (1m x 1.4 m) with a mesh size of 0.333 mm, which are opened and closed sequentially by commands through conducting cable from the surface (Wiebe et al., 1976). Methods: Displacement volume measurement: The entire sample plus liquid was measured in a large graduated cylinder then poured through a sieve into a second cylinder. The difference in volume is the displacement volume. Detailed instructions: Measuring Displacement Volume Supplies: rubber gloves, safety goggles, 2 1-liter graduated cylinders, 2 smaller graduated cylinders (25 to 100 ml), 2 funnels: 1 wide-necked open funnel and 1 small-necked one with mesh attached to the inside or a sieve that fits inside the small-necked funnel, squeeze bottles (water and formalin or other preservative), sieve of mesh size equal to or smaller than that on sampling net. Put on rubber gloves Remove jars for 1 net from sample box (may be from one to many jars for a single net sample) Fill in the data sheet with MOC tow#, date, and net#. jar# Take first sample to hood. Put on safety goggles. Remove lid and internal label with long forceps. Get most of zooplankton off by dipping into jar and place label inside lid after checking that internal label agrees with lid label. Remove large (>5cc) animals (medusae, some fish or shrimp) and measure their displacement volume in the small graduated cylinders: -Put animal and enough liquid to cover in one small graduated cylinder.-Note this volume on data sheet. -Place small sieve in small funnel and set them on top of second empty small grad graduated cylinder. -Pour animal plus liquid into sieve and let drain. -Note this volume on data sheet as well as the type of animal. -Return the specimen to the main sample. Pour the large sample into the 1-liter graduated cylinder using the open funnel on top (no mesh in funnel). Rinse sparingly the jar, funnel and sides of the graduated cylinder. Diluting the sample with water could cause it to rot. Add a little water with the squeeze bottle to bring the level up to an even line on the graduated cylinder. Note this volume on the data sheet (sample + liquid) Place the large funnel containing the sieve or mesh on top of the second, empty graduated cylinder. Pour the sample into the empty grad. Don't worry about animals stuck to the sides of the first grad. Do not add any liquid to wash sample into the second grad. Swirl the funnel to remove excess liquid until most of liquid is done dripping (about 1 minute, but varies sample to sample). Carefully drawing the samples toward the center with large forceps is sometimes helpful. Note this volume on data sheet (liquid vol.) Rinse the graduated cylinder and the mesh-funnel into the sieve with the hose and return most of the dry sample to the jar using the open funnel. Use water from faucet with hose to wash the sample on sieve to one side and then use squirt bottle of water (sparingly) or the preservative filled one to rinse the sample from sieve to jar. Add enough of the filtered formalin to fill the jar, dispose of remainder in appropriate waste container. - Check the sample's pH and add buffer (sodium borate or borax) if = 8.0. - Replace cap, swirl if buffer of formalin was added, and rinse outside of jar. - Rinse everything well after each net sample. Dry weight calculations: dry weight = (dvol/(100.139))(1/1.003); [mg/m3] integrated dry weight = depth interval * dry weight; [mg/m2] total dry weight for the entire sampled water column = sum of integrated dry weights for all nets for one tow; [mg/m2]

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	instruments_0_description	String	The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. The MOCNESS-1 carries nine 1-m2 nets usually of 335 micrometer mesh and is intended for use with the macrozooplankton. All nets are black to reduce contrast with the background. A motor/toggle release assembly is mounted on the top portion of the frame and stainless steel cables with swaged fittings are used to attach the net bar to the toggle release. A stepping motor in a pressure compensated case filled with oil turns the escapement crankshaft of the toggle release which sequentially releases the nets to an open then closed position on command from the surface. -- from the MOCNESS Operations Manual (1999 + 2003).

Physicists, biologists, and chemists must make use of data collected during U.S. GLOBEC field programs to further our understanding of the interplay of physics, biology, and chemistry. Our objectives require quantitative analysis of interdisciplinary data sets and, therefore, data must be exchanged between researchers. To extract the full scientific value, data must be made available to the scientific community on a timely basis.
