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

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_dataset_instrument_nid String 4180
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).

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String The fundamental objectives of United States Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC) Program are dependent upon the cooperation of scientists from several disciplines. 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.
