NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian bottle bottle any type of water bottle sampling device Generic name for water collection device; usually used to determine temperature, salinity and provide water aliquots for measurement of a wide range of parameters; often referred to by a specific type of water sampling bottle, such as a Nansen or Niskin bottle. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe Flow Cytometer Flow Cytometer A method to enumerate bacterial and phytoplankton cells in seawater and estimate their spherical diameter Flow cytometers are laboratory based instruments used to measure cells and particles from aqueous samples. The instrument was initially developed for analysis of Human blood cells for medical purposes, but this technology was adopted by the ocean science community by several investigators, principally Penny Chischolm out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in late 20th century. Since then, the technique has been broadly applied, and it is a unique measurement of microbial populations in the ocean because it provides one at a time measures of cells, to extrapolate features such as fluorescence and cell size. Flow cytometers have been adapted for a number of oceanographic applications such as ship board measurement, and more precise measurement of planktonic fractions. Additionally, the flow cytometer has been adapted for in-situ deployment (see the corresponding nodc instrument code). fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer PAR Sensor PAR Sensor Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6. (http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/instrument/par.htm) ENDEAVOR UNIV.
