attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Methodology:  \n Plankton samples were collected from discrete depths during CTD casts using\na high-capacity, diaphragm pump with an intake hose mounted to the CTD\nRosette. Subsamples of sample contents were manually counted, identified, and\nmeasured in the laboratory\n \nSampling and analytical procedures:  \n For each sample, the pump was run for a timed period of nominally 5 min. The\nflow rate of the pump was usually measured immediately prior to sampling, by\nrecording the time required to fill a barrel of known volume. Samples were\npreserved and stored in 5% buffered formalin. The laboratory protocol was to\nseparate samples into two size fractions by passing them through large (200 or\n500 \\u03bcm) then small (64 \\u03bcm) mesh sieves; split, dilute, and sub-\nsample each size fraction as needed; count and identify all plankters (minimum\nn = 50) in each subsample; and estimate the length and width of exactly 100\nplankters (the first 50 from the large and small fraction, respectively) to\nthe nearest 50 \\u03bcm using a dissecting microscope. Three replicate small\nsize fractions per sample were processed starting in 2006.\n \nData column \"vol\" was calculated as follows:  \n vol =\nlength(unique(replicate)*aliquot/beaker/2^splits*50/s_per_50l*d_min*60*1e-3\n \nData column \"flag\" contains the following codes:  \n flag 1: length & width were not measured, but estimated from similar samples  \n flag 2: shallow & deep samples not labeled, but deduced from sample contents  \n flag 3: depth estimate less accurate than usual (\\u00b1 ~3 m)  \n flag 4: time estimate less accurate than usual (\\u00b1 ~15 min)  \n flag 5: pump flow rate estimated by nominal flow rate

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String The Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) unit is an integrated instrument package designed to measure the conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) of the water column.  The instrument is lowered via cable through the water column and permits scientists observe the physical properties in real time via a conducting cable connecting the CTD to a deck unit and computer on the ship. The CTD is often configured with additional optional sensors including fluorometers, transmissometers and/or  radiometers.  It is often combined with a Rosette of water sampling bottles (e.g. Niskin, GO-FLO) for collecting discrete water samples during the cast.  This instrument designation is used when specific make and model are not known.
