  For Michael Sieracki's measurements:

      ug C/l = biomass, calculated as 

              um3/ml*F

      where F is a biovolume to carbon conversion factor. 

              F=200 fgC/um3

DMO note:
The Data Management Office has changed the units of the parameters
"tint_C" from nanograms to micrograms C/liter and "bact_het_mic"
from cells/liter*10^9 to cells/milliliter.

All organism counts reported by Diane Stoecker were for organisms
greater than 20 microns.

Instruments

Niskin bottle

Supplied Name: Niskin Bottle

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Niskin bottle

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0412/

Generic Description:

A Niskin bottle (a next generation water sampler based on the Nansen bottle) is a cylindrical, non-metallic water collection device with stoppers at both ends. The bottles can be attached individually on a hydrowire or deployed in 12, 24, or 36 bottle Rosette systems mounted on a frame and combined with a CTD. Niskin bottles are used to collect discrete water samples for a range of measurements including pigments, nutrients, plankton, etc.
