NUI Galway Celtic Voyager Cruise Stations 2013

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.本数据集包含2013年8月在“凯尔特航海号”（RV Celtic Voyager）科考船上开展的106个站位采样作业，涵盖CTD（温盐深剖面仪）、水下电视（UWTV）、Shippek采样器以及锚式挖泥采样四种采样方式。其中CTD是海洋学家获取水柱剖面数据的标准主力观测设备，其名称源于其至少可测量的三项核心参数：电导率、温度与深度（压力）。浮游生物网（Plankton net）为漏斗状细网目网具，可在水体中拖曳作业，能够将流经数百加仑水体中的浮游生物进行富集；简易结构的网具可用于捕获显微级浮游生物。遥控无人潜水器（Remotely Operated Vehicle, ROV）是一种无人水下机器人，通过多组缆线与母船相连。此类缆线可在操作人员与ROV之间传输指令与控制信号，实现对设备的远程导航与操控。
