NUI Galway Celtic Voyager Cruise Stations 2013
Description
106 stations including CTD, UWTV, Shippek and Anchor Dredge taken on board the RV Celtic Voyager in August 2013. A large instrument package called a CTD is the standard workhorse of oceanographers for acquiring water column Profiles. It is called a CTD because as a minimum it measures electrical conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (pressure). The Plankton net is a funnel-shaped, fine-meshed net that is towed through the water. The net concentrates the Plankton from hundreds of gallons of water that pass through it. A simple net can be constructed to capture microroscopic Plankton. A remotely Operated vehicle (ROV) is the unoccupied underwater robot that is connected to a ship by a series of cables. These cables transmit command and control signals between the operator and the ROV, allowing remote navigation of the vehicle.
