Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (details  ) |
An Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP or ADP) is a sonar that attempts to produce a record of water current velocities for a range of depths. ADCPs can be configured in many ways: side-listening, into rivers and canals for long term continuous discharge measurements, downward-listening and mounted on boats for instantaneous surveys in the ocean or rivers, and mounted on moorings, or the seabed for long term current & wave studies. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_Current_Profiler) |
| Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) tows (details ) |
The CPR is a self-contained mechanical automatic sampler towed 100 m behind the ship at about 10 m depth, trapping plankton and other small biota. |
| CTD Cast Data (details ) |
CTD is an acronym for Conductivity-Temperature-Depth. It measures the salinity, temperature, depth in a vertical profile from the surface. The longest casts can exceed 4000 metres. |
| CTD Bottle Data (details ) |
Water samples from below surface are collected in Niskin bottles attached to the CTD rosette. Up to 24 bottles can be used. Typical data will be chemical data such as Phosphorus. |
| DMS and DMSP Data (details ) |
DMS is Dimethyl sulfide and is a breakdown product of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP). Emission occurs over the oceans by phytoplankton. |
| Fish catch (details ) |
Fish are caught via RMT or similar nets |
| Flow Cytometry Data (details ) |
|
| Instantaneous Growth Rate Experiments (details ) |
|
| Krill specimens taken (details ) |
|
| Krill Swarm Data (details ) |
|
| Mixed Layer Data (details ) |
|
| CTD Water Bottle analysis data (details ) |
Includes viscosity, particulates, DMS, DMSP etc. |
| Phytoplankton Samples (details ) |
|
| RMT CTD Data (details ) |
CTD instrument is attached to a Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT) net |
| Sea Ice Photography (details ) |
Images are stored in the Aerial Photograph Catalogue - see Aerial Photography Series to choose the particular voyage collection. |
| Underway Data & Voyage Tracks (details ) |
Data logged from various sensors (weather, sea) etc on the ship. Typically recorded every 10 seconds for the entire voyage. |
| Viscosity Data (details ) |
|
| Whale Survey Data (details ) |
typically taken from dedicated and specific cetacean surveys where a strict observation methodology is followed. |
| Whale Acoustic Data (details ) |
|
| Wildlife at Sea observations (details ) |
Observations of seabirds typically taken every daylight hour. Incidental observations of seals and whales are also recorded. |
| XBT deployments (details ) |
Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) is used to obtain information on the temperature structure of the ocean to depths of up to 1500 meters. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expendable_bathythermograph) |
| eXpendable CTD (XCTD) deployments (details ) |
XCTD is an eXpendable CTD probe capable of reaching over 1,000 m of depth when dropped from a moving ship. The hydrodynamically designed probe contains a conductivity sensor, a temperature sensor, a battery, and system electronics. |
You may select a combination of any of the following search parameters. You must select at least one dataset.
No deployment information is avaliable for the Underway dataset.
