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. |
| 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 Bottle Chemistry Data (details ) |
Chemical data such as Phosphorus is measured from water samples taken from bottles attached to the CTD frame. |
| 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 chose the particular voyage collection. |
| Underway Data (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. |
| 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. |
