attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Zooplankton abundance, vertical and horizontal distribution, and population\nstructure were assessed using a 1 m^2 Multiple Opening and Closing Nets and\nEnvironmental Sampling System (MOCNESS) with nine nets having 333 um mesh and\nenvironmental sensors of temperature, salinity and depth. The entire water\ncolumn was sampled on the downcast using net # 0, which was not analyzed here.\nThe water column was typically sampled from close to the bottom at stations on\nthe shelf where depths were less than 1000 m, or to 1000m at stations off the\nshelf where depths were often from 3000 to 4000 m. Nets 1 through 8 sampled\nfrom various depth intervals to the surface with smaller strata near the\nsurface. Several tows targeted krill swarms by towing in a single strata.\nApproximate locations of broadscale study stations are shown in Figs. 1-4,\nbelow.\n \nZooplankton samples were immediately preserved in 5% buffered formalin\nsolution. In 2006, the samples were sent to the Atlantic Reference Centre,\nHuntsman Marine Science Centre, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada to be\nsorted. All the large organisms (>15 mm) in the sample were removed and\nidentified to taxa. The sample was then split to about 100 individuals of\neuphausiids. All euphausiids in the split were identified to species and life\nhistory stage. Next, the sample was split to about 100 individuals of\ncopepods. Copepods were identified to species and life history stage (female,\nmale, copepodite V, or\\u00a0other copepodite). All other zooplankton in the\nsplit were identified to taxa and counted. For the Euchaetidae, we followed\nthe designation of Park (1994) who ascribed the Antarctic species to the genus\nParaeuchaeta. This data object ('zooabund_nbp') reports the counts of\nzooplankton per subsample/split by taxa and life stage or size class. The\ncompanion data object 'zooabund_lmg' reports similar for the MOCNESS samples\ncollected on the L.M. Gould cruises and data object 'krill' reports the\nabundance of each euphausiid species by life stage and size class, also on the\nL. M. Gould.\n \nDisplacement volume measurement:  \n Entire sample plus liquid was measured in a large graduated cylinder then\npoured through a sieve into a second cylinder. The difference in volume is the\ndisplacement volume.\n \nGreenwich Mean Time was local time + 4 hours.\n \n[](\\\\\"http://globec.whoi.edu/images/NBP0103_TowPositions.png\\\\\")\n \nFig. 1.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_dataset_instrument_nid String 4154
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.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_1_description String The U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC) program has the goal of understanding and ultimately predicting how populations of marine animal species respond to natural and anthropogenic changes in climate. Research in the Southern Ocean (SO) indicates strong coupling between climatic processes and ecosystem dynamics via the annual formation and destruction of sea ice. The Southern Ocean GLOBEC Program (SO GLOBEC) will investigate the dynamic relationship between physical processes and ecosystem responses through identification of critical parameters that affect the distribution, abundance and population dynamics of target species. The overall goals of the SO GLOBEC program are to elucidate shelf circulation processes and their effect on sea ice formation and krill distribution, and to examine the factors which govern krill survivorship and availability to higher trophic levels, including penguins, seals and whales. The focus of the U.S. contribution to the international SO GLOBEC program will be on winter processes. This component will focus on juvenile and adult krill and mesozooplankton prey distribution and abundance using a sophisticated instrument package, BIOMAPPER II, which is equipped with an acoustic backscatter sonar system, a video plankton recorder and an environmental sensor system. The system is used in large-scale studies. Additionally, a remotely-operative vehicle will be used to map the distribution and behavior of krill under ice. The result of the integrated SO GLOBEC program will be to improve the predictability of living marine resources, especially with respect to local and global climatic shifts.
