Description

All the log sheets from all the 1m2 MOC tows from the 2011 Endeavor cruises have been scanned into pdfs. These are an important addition for getting the full picture on the MOC tows and also those data sets that are based on the tows.

Each file includes note from the 'flyer', the screen capture of the depth, salinity and temperature plots, the statistics from each tow with averages, and the very valuable first look at net contents.

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: MOCNESS1

Acronym: MOC1

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/NETT0097/

Generic Description:

The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. The MOCNESS-1 carries nine 1-m2 nets usually of 335 micrometer mesh and is intended for use with the macrozooplankton. All nets are black to reduce contrast with the background. A motor/toggle release assembly is mounted on the top portion of the frame and stainless steel cables with swaged fittings are used to attach the net bar to the toggle release. A stepping motor in a pressure compensated case filled with oil turns the escapement crankshaft of the toggle release which sequentially releases the nets to an open then closed position on command from the surface. -- from the MOCNESS Operations Manual (1999 + 2003).
