1.0 Abstract

This paper describes a semi-automated system of hydrographic sampling and data acquisition that permits high spatial resolution of the water properties of a water body through continuous measurements. In this way, horizontal or vertical water property gradients in the order of meters or less can be easily studied.

Water is pumped from known depths to the ship's deck, where it is conducted to instruments which measure salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, in vivo chlorophyll a, and turbidity. In situ sensors measure-pump depth, temperature, and submarine light transmission.

The data from the various analytical instruments are displayed in real time on stripchart analog recorders; and the same data are digitized on magnetic tape for subsequent computer analysis.

2.0 Introduction

The Nansen bottle developed by the Norwegian oceanographer and Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, in the late 1800's, and the reversing thermometer developed by the firm of Negretti and Zambra of London, in 1874, have been the traditional method of seawater collection and temperature measurement (U.S .. Hydrographic Office, 1968).

Needless to say, such conventional sampling devices have proven satisfactory for "blue water oceanography" because of the small and uniform variances of spatial and temporal distributions of the physical and chemical properties of the deep sea.

However, by contrast, the gradients of water properties in shallow water can be large and temporal, primarily caused by such coastal boundary effects as land drainage, mixing, cultural discharges, solar radiation, evaporation-precipitation, tides and currents. Therefore, sampling frequency must be increased to maintain the same degree of confidence in the data.

Sampling techniques in coastal waters which are dependent upon discrete water bottle samples suffer disadvantages which revolve about the time lag and the many stages of manual handling involved between collecting the sample at the station and its eventual conversion to significant data, often months later in a laboratory on shore. These disadvantages tend to preclude, on station, response to unexpected events.

A shipboard sampling, measuring, and high-speed data acquisition system called the PLUNKET Was designed and constructed which permits immediate analysis of major seawater properties providing an efficient and opportunistic field sampling capability by displaying, and simultaneously record~ng, all monitored variables on a permanent analog record and computer compatible magnetic tape.

The rapidity of data accumulation allows water property measurements to be made over large areas in minimal time, limited only by the ship's speed. This feature allows synoptic studies of large areas within the time frame of a tidal cycle.

The PLUNKET system, developed at the Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1969, is used to measure ?ccurately water property gradients while providing real-time data to marine scientists at rates previously impossible to obtain with conventional sampling and analytical techniques (Hardy, 1970; Hardy and Weyl, 1970; Hardy and Weyl, 1971; Bowman and Weyl, 1972; Gross, Davies, Lin, and Loeffler, 1972a, 1972b; Hardy, 1972a, 1972b; Baylor, 1973; Duedall, 1974; Duedall, O'Connors, Parker, Miloski, and Hulse, 1974).

The purpose of this report is to describe in detail the construction, calibration, and operation of the PLUNKET water sampling system.

2.1 PLUNKET System Design and Rationale

The PLUNKET system was designed to work in the coastal waters of the New York Bight, Long Island Sound, and adjacent embayments where it presently measures the following water properties: salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, in vivo chlorophyll ~, turbidity, and submarine light transmission depth.--

Vertical profiles of a water column are obtained by lowering a submersible pump with the research vessel hove to on station and pumping large volumes of seawater from desired depths to analytical instruments aboard a research vessel.

The horizontal profiling of a study area is accomplished by pulling seawater from a hull intake while the ship moves at cruising speed.

Filtered and unfiltered samples can be drawn for later chemical analysis.

Data from the analytical instruments are recorded on an Esterline­Angus Multipoint Stripchart Recorder as hard-copy real-time data, and the same data are digitized on I.B.M. compatible magnetic tape using a Hewlett-Packard Data Acquisition System.

2.2 PLUNKET Construction Putting all of the sampling, measuring, 'and recording devices into a

single package was not practical. For the sake of portability, the system was divided into three packages: the sampling unit, the wet lab, and the instrumentation module.

2.2.1 Sampling Unit For the sampling portion of the PLUNKET system, a submersible

and centrifugal force pumping system was chosen. The submersible pump permits vertical sampling at any depth up to the maximum hose length (80 m), while a centrifugal pump samples through on a hull intake (Fig. 1).

2.2.2 The \'let Lab A semi-portable wet lab is constructed of plywood and Dexion

channel iron to house a dissolved oxygen chamber, a pH measuring chamber, a pI! temperature compensating chamber, and two flow­through fluorometers. Spiggots on the wet lab permit filtered and unfiltered seawater samples to be drawn (Fig. 2).

2.2.3 The Instrumentation Module The instrumentation module consists of two relay racks which

contain the various electronic and readout instrumentation for the pH meter, dissolved oxygen meter, photometer bridge circuit, two thermistor bridge circuits, thermosalinograph, multipoint analog stripchart recorder, and a digital data acquisition system (Fig. 3).

2.2.4 Equipment Used in Constructing the PLUNKET The PLUNKET system is constructed of commercially available

scientific and supplemental equipment which have proven to be seaworthy over the five-year development period of the system. Certain gear was constructed at the Marine Sciences Research Center which include two thermistor bridge circuits and a 4 pi isotropic underwater photometer.

All major equipment used in the construction of the PLUNKE'I' system is listed in Appendix 8.11. A PLUNKET cost analysis including instrumentation equipment, miscellaneous accessories, calibration accessories, and labor is listed in Appendix 8.12.

SUBMERSIBLE PUMPING SYSTEM CONTINUOUS FLOW PUMPING SYSTEM

Fig. 1. Seawater Sampling Equipment, Transducers, and Remote Salinity Sensor. A submersible pumping system is used to collect seawater samples at depths ranging between one and eighty meters. Transducers and sensors are located on the submersible pump assembly for in situ measurements. They include: fathometer transducer, pressure transducer, and thermistor.

A continuous flow pumping system, located below the water line in the ship's hull, permits the collection of seawater and temperature measurement while the ship is underway.

The seawater intake manifold determines which pumping system supplies water to the sensors, and regulates the flow rate to the remote salinity sensor, which measures salinity directly in parts-per-thousand (0/00) •

Wet lab plumbing, flow-through chambers, sensors, and instruments are combined into a semi-portable module which permits easy shipboard removal for repairs or transportation to other vessels.

3.0 PLUNKET Construction

3.1 Submersible pumping AsseIlibly The submersible pumping assembly (Fig. 1) consists either of a

1/2 horsepower, 115 V ac or 1 horsepower, 230 V ac (when using 230 V shipboard electrical service), single phase submersible well pump affixed to 80 m (262 ft) of 2.54 cm (1 in) I.D. noncollapsible reinforced rubber hose.

A continuous hose length is preferred over a mUltisectioned hose because hose couplings constrict the internal diameter and reduce flow rate. The flow rate of the system will vary with hose length: for example, using a 30 m (98 ft) hose length, the flow rate will range between 50 and 60 l/min (13 to 16 gal/min); however, using an 80 m (262 ft) hose, the flow rate can range between 20 and 30 l/min (5 to 8 gal/min) •

Waterproof PWC electrical cord (10/3 type STO-600 V) is used to supply electrical power to the submersible pump (Fig. 1). A female underwater electrical adaptor (Joy Manufactur-ing Co.) is spliced to the submersible pump electrical input. The splice is then cast in epoxy potting compound (Hysol Corp.) which reinforces the union and waterproofs the splice. To one end of the PWC power cord, a male underwater adaptor is spliced and reinforced by potting. (Electrical adaptors make it possible to disconnect the pump assembly from the PWC cord when repairs or maintenance are necessary.) The free end of the PWC cord attaches to a 115 V ac, 15 A maximum load ground fault circuit interruptor (Hubbell Circuit Guard, H. Hubbell, Inc.) located on board the research vessel. The circuit interruptor, by opening the circuit when shorts or ground leaks exceed 5 pA, minimizes the danger of accidental electrocution.

3.2 Submersible Pump Attachments

3.2.1 Bridle A bridle attaches the top of the submersible pump (Fig. 1) to

the hydrowire, thus reducing the strain on hose and electrical cables, while the pump is submerged.

3.2.2 Ballast A 45.4 kg (100 lb) lead weight is attached to the base of the

submersible pump (Fig. 1) to minimize large wire angles when sampling in areas of rapid tidal currents.

3.2.3 Stabilizer Pump rotation is minimized by the attachment of a stabilizer

fin to the submersible pum~ housing (Fig. 1). The surface of this fin is approximately 0.3 m and provides a surface for the attachment of transducers.

3.2.4 Pressure Transducer A pressure transducer manufactured by Viatran Corp.

(model 218-28) is attached to the pump stabilizer fin (Fig. 1) which continuously monitors the sampling depth. Power is supplied to the pressure transducer by a six-conductor 18 gauge neoprene­covered electrical cable, which is attached to a power supply located in the instrumentation module. This cable is also for signal transmission and shunt calibration (Fig. 4). Underwater electrical adaptors can be inserted for easy pressure transducer detachment for cleaning and calibration. .

Fig. 4. Viatran Pressure Transducer Circuit. A strain gauge pressure transducer (Viatran model 218-28) is used

to measure submersible pump depth. A regulated 28 V dc power supply activates the pressure transducer

producing an output voltage (0 to 5 V dc) reduced to 0 to 100 mV which is compatible with the multipoint stripchart recorder and the data acquisition system.

A digital voltmeter wired in the output circuit provides a constant reference (depth in meters) when lowering or raising the submersible pump.

3.2.5 Thermistor A Fenwal 2 K Iso-Curv~ Thermistor (model GB32MM172) located

at the pump intake (Fig. 1) permits immediate in· situ temperature measurement while sampling. The thermistor is-attached to a thermistor bridge circuit, located in the instrumentation module by a two-conductor 18 gauge neoprene-covered electrical cable. Underwater electrical adaptors attached to the thermistor permit detachment from the circuit for cleaning or replacement.

3.2.6 Sonic Transducer While on station, drifting of the vessel into shallow water

can cause the pump to bury the intake into the sediment, which may destroy the pump rotors. It is therefore necessary to monitor the height of the pump above the seabed. A sonic transducer installed at the base of the stabilizer fin (Fig. 1) permits continuous monitoring of water depth beneath the pump when sampling near the seabed. An RG-59-U coaxial cable connects the sonic transducer to a readout device in the instrumentation module.

3.2.7 Cable Lacing For convenience's sake and prevention of tangling, the

electrical cables of the submersible pump, sonic transducer, thermistor, and pressure transducer are all attached to the hose leading to the submersible pump. These cables are bound together with electrical tape at l-m intervals.

3.3 Through-Hull Seawater Intake pumping System A seawater intake and pumping system installed in the ship's hull

permits the continuous monitoring of water properties while the research vessel cruises between hydrographic stations.

A 3-in valve (sea-cock) installed in the ship's hull 1 m below the water line provides a seawater intake source. Temperature of incoming water is measured by the installation of a thermistor in a 3 in x 1/2 in tee directly behind the seacock (Fig. 1). This thermistor connects to a thermistor bridge circuit located in the instrumentation module via two­conductor 18 gauge neoprene-covered electrical cable.

Seawater is moved through a reducing coupling which attaches to a 2.54 cm (1 in) I.D. polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube (suitable rubber tubing may be sUbstituted) leading to the input of a noncavitating centrifugal force pump (Gorman Rupp series 120). The pump's electrical power cable (12/3 neoprene-covered wire) connects to a 115 volt A.C., 10 map ground fault circuit interruptor (Hubbell Circuit Guard).

3.4 Seawater Manifold The submersible pump and through-hull pump water discharge outlets

are controlled by a manifold system (Fig. 1) which has a two-fold purpose: determining which seawater supply (i.e. submersible or hull) will flow to the various shipboard sensors, and regulating the flow rate.

3.4.1 Manifold Principle Solenoid valves (Magnatrol Valve Corp.) are installed on the

discharge lines of the two pumping systems (Fig. 1). Appropriately sized bushings and adaptors (1 1/4 in x 1 in bushings, and 1 in adaptors) are used to connect each seawater line to its appropriate solenoid valve, and each valve is securely fastened to the manifold.

A normally closed solenoid valve is plumbed into the submersible pump discharge line while a normally open solenoid valve is plumbed into the hull pump discharge line.

Page 19: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

lihile the vessel cruises between hydrographic stations, the solenoid valves are not activated; therefore, the hull pump operates with its respective solenoid valve open and the the submersible pump solenoid valve closed. I1hen using the submersible pump on station, the hull pump is shut down and both solenoid valves are activated, thereby opening the submersible pump valve and closing the hull pump valve. Seawater flowing through the solenoid valves divides by passing through a manifold with a 1 1/4 in x 3/4 in reduction. Gate valves (3/4 in I.D.) are installed in the upper and lower legs of the manifold system in order to regulate flow to the various lab sensors, and the remote salinity sensor.

3.4.2 Remote Salinity Sensor Seawater discharged from one leg of the manifold feeds a

bubble separator/flow regulator via 3/4 in I.D. PVC tubing. Seawater drains from the separator/regulator through a remote salinity sensor (Plessey Environmental Systems) at a rate of 19 l/min ± 3.8 l/min (5 gal/min ± 1 gal/min). An analog therrnosalinograph recorder (Plessey Environmental Systems, model 6600T) located in the instrumentation module accepts signals from the remote salinity sensor, thereby recording salinity directly in parts-per-thousand (0/00) on chart paper. (Salinity output can be coupled to the Hewlett-Packard Data Acquisition System as shown in Fig. 3 and Section 3.6.7.1.)

3.5 viet Lab Arrangements The wet lab (Fig. 2) consists of a module approximately 24 in wide

by 38 in long on which plumbing fixtures· and sensors are located; the second leg of the seawater manifold feeds this system. In this section we have attempted to explain in detail, actual construction practices in constructing such a unit.

3.5.1 Optional Valve for Additional Flow-Through Equipment The first outlet on the wet lab (Fig. 2) provides seawater for

temporary sensors or additional equipment, a laboratory salinometer, for example (Plessey Environmental Systems, model 6230). A laboratory salinometer functions in two ways: It provides a backup and is used for calculating salinity errors in the thermosalinograph system. Future modifications may include the addition of a Technicon Auto Analyzet@ II (Technicon Industrial Systems, Tarrytown, New York) for nutrient analyses, and a flow­through transmissometer.

3.5.2 Continuous Flow pH System PVC tubing is plumbed from a 3/4 in x 1/2 in tee on the main

seawater line to a 1/2 in I.D. ball valve, which acts as the primary "flow-rate adjustment" and "shut-off" to the pH sensing unit (Figs. 2 and 5). A 1/2 in x 1/4 in adaptor attached to the ball valve accepts 1/4 in I.D.Tygon@ tubing, which is used in the plumbing from this point on, due to its strength, small diameter, flexibility, and t~ansparency. A short length of tubing plumbed from the ball valve to the temperature compensating chamber contains a Nalgene@quick-disconnect, thus permitting drainage of the temperature compensating chamber for cleaning purposes.

A Corning automatic temperature compensator, model 476092, acceptable to the Corning Model 12 Expanded Scale pll meter was epoxied (top of probe only) in a threaded 3/4 in I.D. PVC adaptor.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATOR CHAMBER CHAMBER FOR INDUSTRIAL pH ELECTRODE

Fig. 5. Flow-Through Chambers Used in pH Measurement. A flow-through chamber was constructed for the automatic temperature

compensating probe (Corning model 476092) to permit continuous temperature compensation in pH measurements.

A second flow-through chamber was constructed to house the industrial pH electrode (Thomas model 4l02-ElO) for continuous pH measurement.

Both chambers were constructed using plexiglass rod machined to the dimensions illustrated in the figure.

11

Page 21: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

I

The temperature compensator chamber opening (top) was threaded with 3/4 in NPT in order to aCCept the epoxied adaptor. By using a threadea fitting, removal of the automatic temperature compensator from the chamber is simplified when probe and chamber cleaning are necessary. The automatic temperature probe output connects to the pH meter.

The seawater line connecting the temperature compensating chamber and the continuous flow pH chamber is composed of both Tygon@ and rubber tubing.Tygon@ tubing leading from the temperature compensating chamber is attached to rubber tubing via a quick­disconnect. The rubber tubing can be clamped off with a screw clamp shown in Figure 2, so that the pH chamber will hold deionized distilled water for rinsing, and buffer solution when calibrating.

The diameter of the pH chamber overflm" (3/8 in I. D.) helps to minimize water pressure within the chamber.

The pH chamber opening (top) was threaded with 3/4 in NPT to fit a Thomas Industrial pH electrode, model 4102-EIO. The pH electrode is pressurized at 0.10 to 0.21 bars (1.5 to 3.0 psi) above ambient in order to maintain an outward diffusion of KC1.

A small Teflon~coated magnet placed in the pH chamber with a magnetic stirrer located under the pH chamber circulates the buffer during calibration. The chamber was machined out of plexiglass and has a volume of 40 cm3 .

3.5.3 Continuous Flow Oxygen System

3.5.4

The double-chambered plexiglass flow-through cell designed for this system permits calibration of the oxygen meter at essentially in situ temperatures and provides cont®nuous oxygen data while sampling vertically or cruising between stations.

PVC tubing is plumbed from two 3/4 in x 1/2 in tees on the main seawater line to two 1/2 in I.D. ball valves, which act as the primary lIflow-rate adjustmen·ts" and "shut-off" to the dissolved oxygen temperature stabilizer and sampling chambers (Figs. 2 and 6). Two 1/2 in x 1/4 in adaptors attached to both 1/2 in I.D. ball valves accept 1/4 in I.D.'rygon@ tubing, which is used in the plumbing from this point on.

An 18 in length of 1/4 in I.D.Tygon@ tubing connects one ball valve to the outer tempera·ture stabilizer chamber with a guick­disconnect positioned mid-way in the line. A second length of tubing connects the second ball valve to the inner sample chamber. 1'. guick-disconnect is positioned directly under the sampling chamber, permitting the insertion of the stem of a rubber bulb hand air pump, which is used to remove water droplets from the probe membrane prior to calibration or recalibration.

A threaded fitting (3/4 in x 27) adjacent to the sample ch~nber overflow ana acceptable to the dissolved o~Jgen probe permits easy removal of the probe for membrane replacement.

The dissolved oxygen probe is connected to a Yellow Springs Oxygen Meter Model 54, located in the instrumentation module.

Bubble Separator PVC tubing (1/2 in I.D.) is formed into two loops having an

18 in diameter and is then permanently secured in position (Figs. 2, 7a, 7b, and 7c). At the bottom of the first loop, a bubble separator is installed (Fig. 7) which removes "bubble free" seawater from the main seawater line, while the second loop continues on to the seawater taps. Note: Both pumping systems are basically bubble free When operational. It is imperative that seawater entering the fluorometers contain no bubbles. Therefore, an extra precaution, the bubble separator, is used.

using plexiglass tube and sheet. The circular top and bottom sections are cut from plexiglass sheet using an adjustable hole saw. Circular grooves are machined into both the top and bottom sections permitting the insertion of two plexiglass tubes which act as the inner and outer chamber walls. Holes are then drilled and tapped in the circular top and bottom sections which permits the attachment of hose adaptors and the oxygen probe (Yellow Springs model 5418). The unit is then sealed Using plexiglass cement.

Fig. 7a, b, c. Bubble Separation Apparatus. . A bubble separator was constructed from a PVC tee and a PVC reed to

provide the fluorometers with bubble-free seawater. A 1/2 in PVC tee is cut longitudinally such that a 2 1/4 in x 1/2 in x 1/16 in PVC reed can be inserted (Sa, b). The PVC tee and reed are then heated until flexible and bent to a position shown in Sc. The PVC reed is secured in place using PVC cement.

Page 24: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

A 1/2 in x 1/2 in x 1/2 in PVC tee is cut longitudinally, and a PVC reed (2 1/4 in x 1/2 in x 1/16 in) is epoxied in the "run or straight line" of the tee (Figs. 7a and 7b). The PVC tee is then heated until flexible and bent to a position shown in Figure 7c.

As seawater spins through the loops, the centrifugal force exerted on the water within the loops forces water devoid of air bubbles to the outside, thus passing bubble-free water out through the side of the tee (Figs. 2 and 7c). If air bubbles are present in the seawater, they pass over the top of the PVC reed (Fig 7c) in the bubble separator and continue out the main seawater line.

Water passing out the side of the tee flows to a 1/2 in I.D. ball valve (through 1/2 in I.D. PVC tubing), which acts as the main "shut-off" for the fluorometer flow-through system.

Immediately after the ball valve, a 1/2 in x 1/4 in adaptor is introduced, perraitting the attachment of 1/4 in I.D. Tygon® tubing to a copper coil heat exchanger. Moisture condenses on the opti.cal surfaces of the fluorometer cuvettes when cold seawater is pumped through the system. To avoid this problem, we have installed a copper coil heat exchanger which is completely immersed in a Thelco hot water bath in order to warm the seawater.

Seawater flowing through the heat exchanger divides in a 1/4 in PVC tee. Both branches feed into flowmeters which, in turn, feed fluorometers, one measuring in vivo chlorophyll a, the other measuring turbidity. Quick-disconnects are inserted in the seawater line between the flowmeters and fluorometers to permit drainage of the cuvettes for cleaning, blanking and calibration purposes. Screw clamps are placed on the seawater discharge lines in order to control the flow rate (Fig. 2). Fluorometer outputs are connected to the mUltipoint stripchart recorder and data acquisition system located in the instrumentation module.

3.5.5 Fluorometric Measurement of III Vivo Chlorophyll a The fluorescence of chlorophyll is excited by the blue-violet

spectral band emitted from a blue fluorescent lamp (General Electric model F4T5) filtered through a Corning CSS-60 glass filter, maximum transmission 430 nm. The emitted fluorescence is transmitted through a Corning CS2-64 having a maximum transmission at 650 nm. The fluorescence wavelengths are measured by a red­sensitive photomultiplier (RCA R-136) for in vivo chlorophyll a determinations. Fluorometer modifications-and calibration methods are discussed in Sections 4.6 and 4.8.

3.5.6 Fluorometric Measurement of Turbidity by Nephelometr¥ Suspended particles in seawater are detected us~ng a

nephelometer, which measureS the amount of light scattered at right angles to an incident beam.

An incident beam is excited by the blue-violet spectral band emitted from a blue fluorescent lamp (General Electric model F4TS) filtered through a Corning CS7-60 glass filter, maximum transmission 380 nm. The scattered light is transmitted through a Corning CS5-60 glass filter, maximum transmission at 430 nm, and measured by a photo tube (RCA 931-A).

3.5.7 Seawater Taps As shown in Figure 2, the two 1/2 in x 1/2 in tees, located on

the discharge side of the bubble separation loop, connect to two 1/2 in 1.0. ball valves through 1/2 in I.D. PVC tubing. A spiggot attached to one valve delivers unfiltered seawater while a

The main seawater line then continues to a standpipe or hydrostatic head pipe (approximately 1 meter above the wet lab) that maintains adequate back pressure on the wet lab system.

3.6 The Instrumentation Module This section describes the individual components comprising the

instrumentation module (Fig. 3). The instrumentation system includes the analytical instruments that

measure the different variables as well as the analog recorders that exhibit all data in real time to the investigator. Additionally, the instrumentation module records all horizontal and vertical transect data on I.B.M. compatible magnetic tape.

3.6.1 Sonic Transducer (Fathometer) The sonic transducer loca-ted on the submersible pump

stabilizer fin is connected to an Apelco model MR-20l-B fathometer/ recorder located in the instrumentation module. Thus, the height of the submersible pump above the seabed is visible at all times in the laboratory, and thereby accidental contact with the seabed can be avoided.

3.6.2 Pressure Transducer Assembly A Viatran pressure transducer (model 218-28) located on the

submersible pump connects to a bridge circuit in the instrumentation module (Figs. 3 and 4) •

The pressure transducer when supplied with 28 V dc gives a 0 to 5 V dc output signal which is reduced to a 0 to 100 mV signal by a voltage divider for input to the multipoint stripchart recorder and the data acquisition system.

A separate digital voltmeter is connected in parallel in the transducer output circuit (Fig. 4) to permit accurate field calibration where transducer output call be read out as depth in meters. Calibration procedures are discussed in Section 4.2.

3.6.3 Thermistor Bridge Circuit Two thermistor bridge circuits are located in the

instrumentation module (Figs. 3 and 8). One of these is designed to measure in situ temperature (thermistor placed directly over the seawater intake on the submersible pump). The other is designed to measure temperature of seawater while the vessel cruises between stations (thermistor located in the h£.ll pump intake).

Thermistors, Fenwal 2K Iso-Curv~model GB32MM172, are each connected to Wheatstone Bridge circuits (Fig. 8) measuring in situ and hull temperatures, respectively. -- ----

The entire dynamic range of 40 0 C (_50 to +35 0 C) is divided into eight ranges of 60 C each to give the temperature required and to avoid exceeding the scale range of the multipoint stripchart recorder and the digital voltmeter in the data acquisition system.

Thermistor and circuit calibration procedures are discussed in Section 4.3.

3.6.4 pH System A Corning model 12 Expanded Scale pH Meter (0 to 100 mV

output) located in the instrumentation module is included in the system because this pH system can provide resolution of ± 0.001 pH units in the expanded scale position. A 1 pH unit deflection on

A double-pole double-throw (DPDT) function switch permits either the thermistor or the temperature calibration resistors (R3 through RIB) to function in the bridge circuit. Two multipoint switches permit the fixed resistors ranging between l-k Q to 7.9-k Q to be shunted into the circuit in O.l-k Q intervals for calibration purposes.

the expanded scale will register a 0 to 100 mV span on the multipoint stripchart recorder and the data acquisition system.

The temperature compensating electrode (Corning model 476092) and combination industrial pH electrode (Thomas model 4102-EIO) are located on the wet lab and connect to the pH meter assembly.

pH calibration procedures are discussed in Section 4.4.

3.6.5 Dissolved Uxygen System A Yellow Springs Oxygen Meter (model 54) located in the

instrumentation module is used to provide continuous measurement of dissolved oxygen expressed in ppm (Figs. 2 and 3) .

A Yellow Springs Polarographic Probe (model 5418) located in the dissolved oxygen chamber on the wet lab attaches to the oxygen meter.

The normal output voltage of the oxygen meter ranges between 114 and 135 mV. A voltage divider wired into the output of the oxygen meter drops the voltage to 0 to 100 mV, permitting oxygen data recording on the multipoint stripchart recorder and the data acquisition system.

For specific operating instructions, consult the YSI instruction manual (Yellow Springs Instrument Co., 1971b) and Section 4.5 for calibration procedures.

3.6.6 Backup Salinometer A Plessey Environmental Systems Laboratory Induction

Salinometer (model 6230) augments the thermosalinograph system by serving as a backup, and by measuring salinity at ranges not covered by the thermosalinograph (i.e. less than 20 ppt or greater than 37.5 ppt).

Consult Section 4.9 for additional details and calibration procedures.

3.6.7 Thermosalinograph A Plessey Enviroruaental Systems Thermosalinograph (model 6600T)

located in the instrumentation module (Figs. 2 and 3) gives continuous salinity measurements of water pumped through it while operating on station or underway.

This instrument has a remote salinity sensor to which seav'ater flows from a bubble separator/flow regulator at a rate of 19 l/min ± 3.8 l/min (5 gal/min ± 1 gal/min) (see Section 3.4.2 and Fig. 1). ,

A multiconductor cable connects the remote salinity sensor to the control unit located in the instrumentation module. The control unit contains the salinity range selector network, range selector switch, power supply module, summation amplifier module, and stripchart recorder. (The stripchart recorder used is a modified Leeds and Northrup Speedomax WL, dual-pen recorder.)

3.6.7.1 Thermosalinograph Circuit Design' (Plessey Environmental Systems, 1971)

"Incoming analog signals from the remote salinity sensor activate a servo motor that drives both a slide wire potentiometer and the pen point indicator. The slide wire potentiometer taps off a voltage proportional to the incoming salinity analog signal. The tapped-off voltage is fed back to the servo input in opposite phase and magnitude to null the servo system with the pen pointer movement stopped at the

I! 18

Page 28: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

correct salinity value without overshooting. A recorder sensitivity control permits adjustment of damping to eliminate pointer oscillation.

Another voltage tapped from the slide-wire potentiometer is fed into the salinity network to produce a bridge balancing output from the summation amplifier. The output from the amplifier causes the temperature compensated bridge in the sensor to return to the balanced conditicn until another salinity change is sensed."

A retransmitting potentiometer attached to the salinity slide-wire assembly permits salinity data recording on the data acquisition system.

3.6.8 4 pi Isotropic Underwater Photometer An underwater photometer (Fig. 9), similar to that of ,!<ich and

Wetzel (1969), was constructed. l'he electronics for the photon1eter are located in the

instrumentation n1odule. The basic circuitry is n10dified to accept 115 V ac and to produce a 0 .to 100 n1V output acceptable to the multipoint stripchart recorder.

Two Clairex CL-702 photocells were epoxied on each end of a 3 in brass sleeve as suggested by Rich and Wetzel (1969). In order to use the photometer at depths greater than 30 m, the styrofoam caps (light diffusors) suggested by Rich and Wetzel were replaced with two translucent plexiglass hemispheres which maintain shape at depth and produce a 4 pi isotropic light energy collector.

Both plexiglass hemispheres were eniliedded in a layer of black epoxy surrounding each pair of photocells, avoiding covering the photocell surface with the black epoxy in a manner that would block out the light.

Three-conductor electrical cable (16/3 neoprene-covered wire with waterproof connectors) connects the underwater photocell unit to the photocell bridge circuit in the instrun1entation module. The photocell unit is lowered into the water independently of the submersible pumping system from a separate winch.

The photocell unit was calibrated at the Marine Sciences Research Center and Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York. For calibration procedures, consult Section 4.11.

3.6.9 Multipoint Recorder An Esterline Angus model E-1124-E Strip Chart Recorder located

in the instrumentation module (Fig. 3) presents analog data continuously. The analog data serve three functions, namely, they assure the investigator that all of the necessary apparatus is functioning, they can serve as a backup source of information in the event that the Hewlett-Packard Data Acquisition System fails, and they provide real-time info=ation. Consult Section 4.12.1 for recorder description and specifications.

3.6.9.1 processing of Multipoint Recorder Data In the event that it becomes necessary to utilize the

analog record, the data are converted to actual values through the use of calibration equations and graphs.

Data are then key-punched from the coding fo= sheets (Fig. 10). Appendix 8.1 includes the hydrographic data processing program written in FORTRAN 4, which is compatible with the I.B.M. 370/155 computer software. Examples of computer output (listings) are included in Appendix 8.5.

3.6.10 Data Acquisition System A Hewlett-Packard Data Acquisition Syste~, model 2012-D

(Fig. 11), located in the instrumentation module, accepts dc voltage inputs from forty different sources in sequence, recording the data from each source on computer compatible magnetic tape. For example, when we sample eight different variables at the maximum sampling rate, we sample each of the eight voltage sources 5 times per second, thereby affording high resolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of our eight oceanographic variables.

The Hewlett-Packard Data AcqUisition System consists of: a reed switch scanner that commutates through the sequence of dc voltage inputs, an integrating digital voltmeter, a coupler that directs and controls all operations, a digital clock, and a digital magnetic tape recorder.

The basic operation consists of converting dc analog voltage values from the various analytical monitoring instruments to binary coded decimal numbers that are recorded on magnetic tape. Consult Section 4.13 for data acquisition system specifications.

3.6.10.1 Field Operation and Procedures The following section outlines the basic procedure used

when preparing the data acquisition syste~ for operation at sea.

3.6.10.1.1 Program the switches that channel to the corresponding variables:

Channel 0 = Dissolved oxygen 1 = In situ temperature 2 = Hull temperature 3 = In vivo chlorophyll 4 = Turbidity 5 = pH 6 = Salinity 7 = Depth

3.6.10.1.2 Set skip/scan switches for those channels that are to be scanned and for those that are to be skipped.

3.6.10.1.3 Scan rate: Adjust scan rate to the number of measurements per second (one channel per second is normal scan rate) .

The scan rate sets the temporal resolution of the recorder observations. When underway, the time for one complete scan times boat speed in knots times 0.5 = spatial resolution in meters. E.g. assume scan time = 7 sec and boat speed = 5 knots; then 7 x 5 x 0.5 = 17.5 m horizontal resolution distance.

3.6.10.1.4 Adjust block size: One block of data consists of

3.6.10.1.5

48 twelve-character readings, such that 8 variables are scanned 6 times. Note: For example of a block of data, consult Appendix 8.6.

Set digital clock: of each record (see auxiliary generator (60 Hz) because the

22

Time of day is recorded at the end Appendix 8.6). !lote: The shipboard must maintain proper frequency timing circuit operating the digital

3.6.10.1.6 Install magnetic tape.

3.6.10.1.7 Set the data acquisition system for continuous recording by performing the following set of operations:

3.6.10.1.7.1 Set system control switch to "local."

3.6.10.1. 7 . 2 Set reset/start control switch to "manual."

3.6.10.1.7.3 Set mode function switch to manual position.

3.6.10.1.7.4 Set first and last address.

3.6.10.1.7.5 Set skip/scan switches.

3.6.10.1.7.6 Set buffer contrOl switch to "local."

3.6.10.1.7.7 Set buffer record switch to "off.1I

3.6.10.1.7.8 Push "manual control" reset button.

3.6.10.1. 7.9 Return buffer control switch to "remote."

3.6.10.1.7.10 Return buffer record switch to "on."

3.6.10.1.7.11 Set mode switch to. "continuous scan."

3.6.10.1.8 Thumbwheel settings: Thumbwheels are used to identify the ranges of the various measuring instruments (consult Section 3.6.10.2).

3.6.10.1.9 Zero thumbwheel settings: A computer program written for the data acquisition system (Appendix 8.2 and 8.3) disregards all data from channels exhibiting zero thumbwheel settings. Using the zero thumbwheel settings to turn off a channel eliminates changing block size as would happen if the skip/scan switches were used. (Changing block size while recording data on magnetic tape causes extreme difficulties in data processing.)

3.6.10.1.10 Record horizontal transect data:

3.6.10.1.10.1 Set all PLUNKET instruments to proper ranges.

3.6.10.1.10.2 Set thumbwheels to proper positions. [Channell (in situ temperature) and channel 7 (depth) are set "EC)"'"off" by placing their respective thumbwheels to zero.]

3.6.10.1.11.3 Begin sampling at the deepest point, using the submersible pump, and work towards the surface. (Consult Section 5.0 for PLUNKET operation.) Example: At 50 m, push "start" button (channel 0 beginning the sequence) and record one full block of data per depth, ending the block on channel 7 after six scans. At 40 m, the procedure is repeated, remembering that only one block of six scans per depth is recorded.

3.6.10.1.11.4 Hhen the data-recording at one me.ter is complete:

3.6.10.1.11. 4.1 Set station thumbwheels to zero.

3.6.10.1.11.4.2 Reset thumbwheels to positions used for recording data on a horizontal transect (consult section 3.6.10.1.10). Note: Each variable is scanned six times per depth. The computer program written for the data acquisition system averages data from each variable over the six scans and exhibits the average below the respective variable (see Appendix 8.6).

3.6.10.2 Processing of Hewlett-Packard Data Acquisition System Record Conversion factors used by data acquisition system's

computer program (Data Units Conversion Program) are included in Section 3.6.10.2.1 and Appendix 8.3. Note: Conversion factors listed for individual variables may change due to recalibration of specific instruments.

Auxiliary Shipboard Power The operation of this shipboard instrumentation system requires

115 V ac at 50 A from an auxiliary generator (Fig. 12). On large research vessels, adequate electrical power should be available to meet the needs, although on smaller vessels the installation of an auxiliary generator may be necessary.

3.7.1 PLUNKET ac Electrical System An 8 to 12 kW auxiliary diesel generator (Fig. 12) provides

adequate power to the instrumentation module and pumping gear. Those systems that do not require voltage regulation are attached through circuit breakers directly to the generator (i.e. submersible and hull pumps, water heater, solenoid val'les) •

A Sorenson ac Voltage Regulator (Raytheon Co.) connected to the auxiliary generator supplies constant voltage (± 1 V ac) to the shipboard instrumentation system. The ac voltage regulator operates over a 90 through 130 V ac input range, at 57 to 63 Hz. The output voltage is adjustable from 110 through 120 V ac, and voltage for the PLUNKET system is set to 115 V ac.

3.7.2 Voltage and Frequency Adjustment In order to correct the generator frequency output, the

entire instrumentation and pumping system is turned on, simulating actual operating conditions, thereby placing the proper load on the generator. By adjusting the generator speed controls, the correct frequency (60 Hz) is attained. The input voltage, at this point, may vary between 110 to 120 V ac. The Sorenson ac regulator output voltage is then adjusted to read 115 V ac ± 1 V ac.

The instrumentation system now receives 115 V ac ± 1 V ac at 60 Hz ± 1 Hz from the ac regulator while the pumps, heater, and solenoid valves receive 115 V act 5 V ac.

Note: certain modifications were made to the Sorenson ac Regulator in order to eliminate a ground potential. This modification included the removal of certain rf filter capacitors on the input side.

3.7.3 Caution In order to record dissolved oxygen and pH data, the dissolved

oxygen meter, pH system, and multipoint stripchart recorder must be isolated from ship's ground, including the 115 V ac input (Fig. 12).

4.0 PLUNKET Instrumentation Calibration and Reliability It is not the purpose of this paper to give detailed instrument

calibration procedures performed on equipment by an electronics technician in the laboratory, but to give, instead, examples of field calibration procedures (standardizations) used at sea in order to ensure instrument reliability.

4.1 Terminology Key words and phrases used to define measurements are basic to any

instrumentation system. A clear concept of the terms used in this section will aid in understanding calibration of the sensors or in measurements of the state of nature. Below is a list of those terms.

4.1.1 Accuracy . The concordance between a measurement and the true value of

the quantity measured--but this concordance is impossible bE;cause the true value of any physical quantity is unobtainable. Accuracy is expressed in terms of potential possible error.

4.1. 2 Precision Narrowness of limits within which one may assume true value of

measured quantity lies--the narrower the limits, the better the precision.

4.1.3 Error Error of measurement may be systematic or accidental.

Accidental errors are slight variations that occur in successive measurements by the same observer. Causes are generally intangible. They may follow the law of chance.

4.1.4 Calibration Periodic standardizations of equipment and instruments.

4.1.5 Sensitivity The degree to which a substance can be detected in the

presence of interfering components which have properties differing only very slightly from those of the substance.

These definitions are discussed at length in Fales and Kenney (1939), and Newman (1969).

4.2 Pressure Transducer

4.2.1 Calibration Procedure

4.2.1.1 The shunt calibration switch is used to check transducer zero and span voltage. (Zero and span adjustments are located in the transducer housing.)

4.2.1.2 A 90.8 kg (200 lb) lead weight is attached to 50 m of hydrowire and marked with electrical tape at 10-m intervals.

4.2.1.3 The pressure transducer, affixed to the 90.8 kg (200 Ib) weight, is slowly lowered into the water until the 50-m mark reaches the sea surface.

•• 4.2.1.4 The 500 ohm 1 percent trimpot is adjusted until the digital voltmeter used for depth monitoring, the multipoint stripchart recorder, and the data acquisition system read 50 mV.

31

Page 41: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

4.2.1.5 The pressure transducer is then raised in 10-m intervals so that the voltage displayed on the digital voltmeter indicates:

50 m " 50 mV 40 m " 40 mV 30 m " 30 mV 20 m " 20 mV 10 m " 10 mV

1 m " 1 mV

4.2.1.6 The data of Figure 13 show the linear relationship of depth to voltage.

4.2.2 Accuracy The accuracy of the pressure transducer, expressed as error,

is ± 0.5 m, which was determined empirically.

4.3 Calibrating the Thermistor Bridge Circuits One method of calibrating the thermistor bridge circuit is

discussed in this section. For complete details and specifications On calibrating the thermistor bridge circuits using 2K Iso-Curv~ Thermistors, consult Thermistor Manual EMC-6, Bulletin L-2, and Product Data Sheet D-7 published by Fenwal Electronics, Inc., Framingham, Hass.

4.3.1 Special Equipment

4.3.1.1 1.4 V dc constant voltage filtered power supply.

4.3.1.2 Fenwal 2K Iso-Curve® Thermistor model GB32MM172. The Fenwal 2K Iso-Curv~ Thermistor model GB32Ml1l72

resistance temperature characteristics were precision-matched to the resistance-temperature values as seen in Table 1. Resistance is predictable accurately at any given point, eliminating the need to calibrate each thermistor individually (Fenwal Bulletin L-2).

Specifications for the 2K Iso-CurvS® Thermistor are listed below and in Appendix 8.8.

4.3.1.2.1 Glass encapsulated thermistor of the mini-probe configuration, designed for oceanographic use, having the feature of complete resistance-temperature interchangeability, coupled with exceptionally high stability characteristics.

4.3.1.2.2 Resistance: precision matched to an R-T curve (Table 1) and predictable accurately at any given point to ± O.loc over the entire temperature range of -SoC to +35°C.

4.3.1.2.3 Interchangeability: allows for circuit standardization; eliminates necessity for individual circuit adjustment; allows exact replacement without calibrating thermistor or recompensating circuits.

4.3.1.2.4 Stability: 0.05°C/yr change maximum.

4.3.1.2.5 Characteristics:

D.C. T.C.

Still air 1.4 mW/oc 16 sec

Hoving air 3.4 mW;oc 3 sec 800 ft/min

Still water 7.0 mW/oC 0.4 sec

~loving water 11.0 mN/oC 0.1 sec

D.C. (Dissipation Constant) equals power in milliwatts (mW) required to raise thermistor temperature 1°C,

measured with the thermistor suspended by its rods in a specific environment. T.C. (Time Constant) equals the time required by a thermistor to change 63 percent of the difference between its initial and final temperatures, measured with 'the thermistor suspended by its leads in a specific environment.

4.3.2 Temperature Range Alignment in the Wheatstone Bridge Circuit In the Wheatstone Bridge temperature circuit (Fig. 8), there

are eight 10-k n ,1 percent trimpot resistors which are aligned to produce a 0 to 100 mV span for each of the eight temperature ranges indicated.

4.3.2.1 Procedure for adjusting 10-k n 1 percent trimpot resistors:

4.3.2.1.1 Disconnect the thermistor and replace with a resistance sUbstitution box.

4.3.2.1. 2 Set the temperature range select switch (Fig. 8) to the; -5 to +lOC range.

4.3.2.1.3 Adjust the resistance sUbstitution box to the resistance values found in Table 1 which correspond to those values in the temperature range under alignment. For example, consult Table 2.

4.3.2.1.4 Adjust the 10-k n 1 percent trimpot resistor so that the low end of the temperature'range indicates 0 mV, and the high end of the temperature range indicates 100 mV.

4.3.2.1.5 Adjust all 10-k n 1 percent trimpots for each of the eight temperature ranges (Fig. 8 and Table 2).

4.3.2.1.6 Reconnect thermistor when alignment procedure is complete.

4.3.3 Temperature Calibration Graphs Temperature calibration graphs must be constructed for each

temperature range in order to determine the relationship between temperature in °c and multipoint stripchart recorder/data acquisition values in millivolts.

This procedure consists of entering known resistance values taken from Table 1 (using fixed 1 percent resistors) in the vlheatstone Bridge circuit. The relationship between multipoint stripchart recorder/data acquisition system output values and temperature can then be established.

4.3.3.1 Fixed 1 percent resistors (Fig. 8; R3 - R18) whose values Were accurately measured against a 1 Q National Bureau of Standards resistor (Table 3) can be connected in series using multipoint switches (Fig. 8) so that resistance values can be made to range between l-k Q through 7.9-k Q in O.l-k Q intervals.

4.3.3.2 A double-pole double-throw (DPDT) function switch (Fig. 8) permits shunting the resistors into the l'>7heatstone Bridge circuit ..

4.3.3.3 Table 1 indicates 2K Iso-Curv~ thermistor values expressed in ohms matched to corresponding temperature values.

4.3.3.4 When calibrating a specific temperature range, for example -1 to +5°C, the temperature range select switch is po:sitioned to that range.

4.3.3.5 The DPDT function switch is positioned to the "calibrate" position.

4.3.3.6 Resistance values for the temperature range -1 to +5°C as found in Table 1, range between 4.8-k Q and 5.9-k Q.

4.3.3.7 Twelve points are then plotted on the multipoint stripchart recorder (Fig. 14), one point for each resistance value ranging between 4.8-]( Q and 5. 9-k Q in O.l-k Q intervals, by using the multipoint switches (Fig. 8) to select the desired resistance value. See Table 4 for the recorder readings.

4.3.3.8 A graph is then constructed (Fig. 14) plotting the twelve multipoint stripchart recorder readings (expressed in millivolts) against the twelve resistance values (expressed in ohms).

4.3.3.9 Temperature values in 1°C increments, which are expressed in ohms in Table 1, that range between -1 and +5°C, are plotted on the graph (Fig. 14) as a function of resistance (ohms). For example: O°C = 5700 Q; 2°C = 5211 Q, and 4°C = 4791 Q.

4.3.3.10 A second graph (Fig. 15) is then constructed from the data used to construct Figure 14. Figure 15 is a relationship between temperature values plotted on the siope of Figure 14 in 1°C intervals (Section 4.3.3.9) and mUltipoint stripchart recorder readings in millivolts. Note: The slope of the line (y = mx + b) can be used in a computer program to compute temperature values (consult Section 3.6.10.2).

4.3.3.11 All temperature values measured using the 2K Iso-Curv~ Thermistor on the -1 to +5°C temperature range, which are expressed as millivolt values or recorder readings on the multipoint strip chart recorder/data acquisition system, must be interpreted using the calibration graph constructed (Fig. 15). For example, a recorder reading of 80 would indicate a temperature value of 3.2°C.

Fig. 14. Resistance Values 4.8-k ~ to 5.9-k ~ for the Temperature Range from -1 to +5°C.

Resistance values are plotted on the x-axis of the figure in 100-ohm intervals. With the DPDT function switch in the calibrate position (Fig. 8), those resistance values indicated on the x-axis of the figure are shunted in the thermistor bridge circuit using the multipoint switches and the temperature calibration resistors. Twelve points are then plotted on the multipoint stripchart recorder, one point for each resistance value ranging between 4.8-k ~ and S.9-k Qin O.l-k ~ intervals. A graph can then be constructed plotting resistance against mUltipoint stripchart values. After the graph has been constructed, temperature values in 1°C increments expressed in ohms (Consult Table 1) that range between -1 and +5°C are plotted on the slope of the graph as a function of resistance.

A second graph is constructed from the data used in Fig. 14 where the relationships between temperature values plotted on the slope of Fig. 14 in 1°C intervals are now plotted aga~nst mUltipoint recorder values. All temperature values measured with the 2K Iso-Curv~ thermistor on the -1 to +5°C temperature range using the multipoint strip chart recorder and data acquisition system are interpreted using this calibration graph. Similar graphs are constructed for the other temperature ranges.

4.3.4 Accuracy

4.3.4.1 Circuit Accuracy: The accuracy of the \'lheatstone Bridge circuit depends upon the individual components (resistors). In constructing the circuit, only resistors with 1 percent tolerance were used. For example, a 4800 ~ value = 4806 ± 48.1 n. If a temperature value measured was 6.4°C, the circuit error would be 6.4°C ± 0.064°C.

4.3.4.2 Thenuistor l,ccuracy: Section 4.3.1 indicates that thermistor accuracy is fO.loC over a -5 through +35°C temperature range.

4.3.4.3 Total Accuracy: The total accuracy cannot be greater than the largest error present, or the thermistor tolerance of ± O.loC.

4.3.5 Improvements in Design

4.4 l2!!

Althcugh there are more up-to-date designs in thermistor circuitry, we have not modified our thermistor circuit due to the convenience of recording eight temperature ranges in 6°C intervals~

4.4.3 Possible Causes of Error while Operating at Sea

4.4.3.1 Stray ac signals (fluorescent lights, motors, etc.; Collins, 1962) .

4.4.3.2 Contaminated buffer.

4.4.3.3 Cracked pH electrode or temperature compensator.

4.4.3.4 Organic film buildup on the pH electrode or temperature compensator~

4.4.3.5 KCl (electrolyte) contaminated with seawater (experienced wher excessive seawater pressure is applied to the pH chamber).

4.4.3.6 Stray rf signals (hf and vhf radio transraissions at sea).

4.4.3.7 ac power failure (requires recalibration).

4.4.3.8 Ground potential while recording pH data causes Ag to precipitate from the Ag/AgCl solution and plate on the electrode, thus affecting calibration. Solution: Isolate ground potential.

4.4.4 Improvements in the pH System When working in a fringe area, that is, a pH of 7.999, 8.000

the 7 to 8 expanded scale position, any overranging causes the mUltipoint stripchart recorder and the data acquisition system to drop data. It would be convenient to have overlapping ranges incorporated in the circuit, especially 7.5 to 8.5 expanded scale position. This would cover, for most part, the normal seawater measuring range.

Adjust the "red line" to its proper position.

4.5.2.7 Set function switch to zero and adjust circuit to read zero on the meter.

4.5.2.8 Set functions switch to "temperature" position, noting sample chamber temperature (a thermistor mounted on the oxygen probe measures sample chamber temperature) •

4.5.2.9 Set function switch to either the 0 to 10 ppm, or 0 to 20 ppm range and adjust the control to the correct calibration value as found in "The Solubility of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon in Water and Seawater" (Weiss, 1970). Consult Green and Carritt, (1967) and Yellow Springs Instrument Co. (197lb) for further information pertaining to oxygen solubility.

4.5.2.10 Activate the mUltipoint stripchart recorder and, using the manual mode selector, set the proper dissolved oxygen input channel.

4.5.2.13 Connect seawater line to sample chamber.

4.5.2.14 Open seawater valve and adjust the flow rate to approximately 250 ml/min.

4.5.2.15 Recalibration of the oxygen meter takes but a few minutes after the initial stabilization period and should be performed as frequently as stability warrants. The following procedure can be used for recalibration:

4.5.2.15.1 Close sample chamber seawater valve.

4.5.2.15.2 Separate the quick-disconnect, and drain sample chamber.

4.5.2.15.3 Insert an air gun apparatus (a squeeze bulb with a short, narrow tube wil~ prove satisfactory), and clear water droplets from the membrane using short bursts of air.

notes, consult Yentsch and Henzel (1963); Holm-Hansen, Lorenzen, Holmes, and Strickland (1965); Lorenzen (196S); Lorenzen (1966); Eppley, Holmes, and Strickland (1967); Strickland (1968); Strickland and Parsons (1968); Flemer (1969); Loftus and Carpenter (1971); Loftus, Subba Rao, and Seliger (1972); Guilbault (1973).

4.6.2 Special Equipment

4.6.2.1 G. K. Turner model 111 Filter Fluorometer.

4.6.2.2 RCA R-136 Red-Sensitive Photomultiplier.

4.6.2.3 General Electric F4TS Blue Lamp.

4.6.2.S Corning CSS-60 Glass Filter (excitation).

4.6.2.6 Corning CS2-64 Glass Filter (emission). Note: Appendix 8.9 contains transmission curves for the Corning filters.

4.6.3 Two Methods of Fluorometer Blanking Blanking the fluorometer prior to in vivo chlorophyll a

measurements subtracts out unwanted fluorescence produced by a blank, in this instance, chlorophyll-free distilled water (chlorophyll-free seawater).

The first blanking method is described in the G. K. Turner Associates Operating and Service Manual (1970), and by Lorenzen (1966). The second method is a modification of the Lorenzen (1966)

method developed at the Marine Sciences Research Center.

4.6.3.1 Fluorometer Blanking (Method 1)

4.6.3.1.1 The G. K. Turner Filter Fluorometer model 111 has four range positions or aperture diameters useful in in vivo

48

Page 58: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

chlorophyll a measurement. To select a desired range (IX, 3X, 10X~ 30X), pull the range selector out and move it over the desired aperture diameter.

4.6.3.1.2 V1hen the fluorometer is equipped for in: vivo chlorophyll a analysis (correct filters and photomultiplier), insert a flat black card (5 x 5 em) over the photomultiplier (the aperture diameter may be at any of the four ranges) and, using the blanking control, adjust the fluorescence dial to zero. This step nulls unwanted fluorescence detected by the photomultiplier. The following steps are used to detect unwanted fluorescence in the blank (chlorophyll­free distilled water) .

4.6.3.1.3 Connect a distilled-water source to the fluorometer (a 4 1 water bottle filled with particle-free distilled water; Fig. 16).

4.6.3.1. 4 Remove the 5 x 5 cm flat black card and set the aperture diameter to IX.

4.6.3.1.5 V1hile particle-free distilled water flows through the cuvette, note the fluorescence dial reading. Perform this operation on the 3X, lOX, and 30 X aperture diameters, noting the respective fluorescence dial readings.

4.6.3.1.6 Lorenzen (1966) reports that AA millipored filtered seawater, and distilled water, produce fluorescence dial readings of 1, 3, 10, and 40 on the IX, 3X, lOX, and 30X aperture diameters, respectively. Lorenzen (1966) suggests that the fluorescence readings are a result of light scattering and/or light leakage through the colored filters.

4.6.3.1.7 Blank readings determined in Sections 4.6.3.1.2 through 4.6.3.1. 6 must be subtracted from measured values on their respective ranges (aperture diameters).

4.6.3.1.8 The blank knob is not moved after it is initially adjusted unless for reblanking purposes.

4.6.3.2 Fluorometer Blanking (Method 2) The second method, a modification of the Lorenzen (1966)

method, was developed in the field and has proved to be accurate. From field experience, we find that the lOX aperture diameter is commonly used in the nearshore coastal waters, while the 30X aperture diruneter is used during less productive seasons, and in the open ocean. The 3X and IX aperture diameters are used only during phytoplankton "blooms." For general nearshore measurements, we recormnend the following blanking procedure.

4.6.3.2.1 Set the aperture diar1eter to the lOX position.

4.6.3.2.2 Consult Section 4.6.3.1.3.

4.6.3.2.3 Allow distilled Fater to flow through the fluorometer cuvette and adjust the· blanking control to zero on the

fluorescence dial. This step nulls unwanted background fluorescence produced by the blank (distilled water) .

4.6.3.2.4 The lOX aperture diameter has proven satisfactory for most inshore coastal measurements. If, however, other aperture diameters are needed, follow steps 4.6.3.2.1 through 4.6.3.2.3, then move the range selector to the desired aperture diameter (Le. 30X). Hi thout changing the blank control, record the new blank value: This new blank value must be subtracted from all measured values when using this new range.

4.6.3.2.5 See Section 4.8 (Fluorometer Output Modifications) regarding the correction of the Turner Fluorometer output for nonlinearity.

4.6.4 Fluorometer Calibration Procedure (Method 1)

4.6.4.1 Discrete samples are collected from the fluorometer seawater discharge line as fluorometer readings are recorded.

4.6.4.2 Acetone extractions are performed on the same samples (strickland and Parsons, 1968) where chlorophyll a data are expressed according to SCOR/UNESCO equations (UNESCO, 1966).

4.6.4.3 Corrected fluorometer output values (consult Section 4.8) are plotted against SCOR/UNESCO chlorophyll a data for all necessary aperture diameters (Fig 18). Note: A minimum of 15 samples are needed in order for an accurate calibration plot

4.6.5 Calibration Accuracy and Precision

4.6.5.1 Plant Pigment Extraction: Spectrophotometric precision for chlorophyll a (Strickland and Parsons, 1968; Holmes, 1968): Note: Chlorophyll a is almost always determined when using the in vIvo fluorescence method.

4.6.5.1.1 Chlorophyll a precision: k Mean of n determinations + 0.26/n' ug. chlorJphyll a

4.6.5.1.2 Chlorophyll b precision: k l1ean of n determinations:!: 0.21/n' ug. chlorophyll b

4.6.5.1.3 Chlorophyll c precision: Variable and-very poor ± 10% to + 30% of the amount being measured

4.6.5.1.4 Plant carotenoids precision: k Mean of ~ determinations ± 0.15/n'-u-S.P.U.

4.6.5.2 Spectrophotometer Accuracy and Precision: Spectrophotometer accuracy and precision should be listed in the instrument instruction manual. Precision, using a certain spectrophotometer, can be determined by using a standard chlorophyll reference.

Consult Appendix 8.10 for an example of the ACTAtmII, UV-Visible Spectropho~ometer specifications (Beckman Instruments, Inc., 1971).

4.6.5.3 Fluorometer Precision: Fluorometer precision can be determined by using a standard chlorophyll reference.

4.6.6 Causes of Erroy irithe In Vivo ChloYophyllaFluorescence Technique

4.6.6.1 The Corning CS5-60 Glass Filter (maximum transmission 430 nm) permits fluorescence of unwanted phaeophytin material (Lorenzen, 1965, 1966). Replacing the Corning CS5-60 Glass Filter with Corning CS5-58 and CS3-73 Glass Filters will significantly reduce interference from phaeophytin material (Loftus, Subba Rao, and Seliger, 1972). (Consult Patterson and Parsons, 1963; Currie, 1962, for additional details.)

4.6.6.2 Calibrating a fluorometer against naturally mixed phytoplankton populations can produce statistically large errors, as great as ± 15% (personal observation).

4.6.6.3 Temperature: Williams and Bridges (1964) report that in vivo fluorescence decreases with increasing temperature at a-rate of 1.4%/10C in the range of 12° to 20°C.

4.6.7 Technique Accuracy Fluorometric in vivo chlorophyll a values may vary as much as

± 10 to 15% from those values determined spectrophotometrically. This is primarily due to calibration when using naturally mixed phytoplankton popUlations (refer to Section 4.6.6.2).

4.6.8 Fluorometer Calibration Procedure (11ethod 2) A major problem in using fluorometric in vivo chlorophyll is

encountered when measuring naturally mixed phytoplankton populations. Loftus, Subba Rao, and Seliger (1972) report that unialgal laboratory cultures of phytoplankton, ranging in size from 2 u (unidentified ultraflagellate) to 70 u (Gymnodinium nelsonii) , produce different instrument calibration rati~s "nil where:

in vivo fluorescence intensit units) R; extractable chlorophyll

(refer to Fig. 19). Other investigators, including Strickland (1968), Strickland

and Parsons (1968), and Flemer (1969), have independently reported variations in nR n for naturally mixed popUlations using the in vivo chlorophyll method. Seasonal changes in nRn are produced by- -­transitional periods of different species of phytoplankton (Fig. 20 Loftus, Subba Rao, and Seliger, 1972).

4.6.8.1 Laboratory Procedure

4.6.8.1.1 Different concentrations of in vivo unialgal cultures under investigation are fed through a fluorometer and collected from the discharge line as fluorometer aperture diameter and fluorescence dial values are recorded.

4.6.8.1.2 Acetone extractions are performed on the unialgal culture collected from the fluorometer (Section 4.6.8.1.1) according to Loftus and Carpenter (1971), Loftus, Subba Rao, and Seliger (1972), and Strickland and Parsons (196' where chlorophyD. a data are expressed according to SCOR/UNESCO equations (UNESCO, 1966).

4.7.3.4 While particle-free distilled water flows through the cuvette, adjust the blanking control to zero on the fluorescence dial.

4.7.3.5 When using either the 3X or the lOX aperture diameters, divide all corrected fluorometer values (consult Section 4.8) by the respective aperture diameter. Example: On the 3X aperture diameter, divide all corrected fluorometer values by 3.

4.8 G. K. 'l'urner Filter Fluorometer 110del 111 Output 110dification An offset zero due to "potentiometric end resistance" is common to

the G. K. Turner Fluorometers used for both in vivo chlorophyll a and turbidi ty measurements. "The voltage at the arm of the potentiometer varies from about 2 V to 95 V dc, as the fluorescence dial is rotated from 0 through 100" (Turner Instruction l1anual, p. 19). To correct for variations in the fluorometer output, modifications were made:

4.8.1 Fluorometer Output 110dification In order to interface the G. K. Turner Fluorometers to the

multipoint stripchart recorder and the data acquisition system, the G. K. Turner Instruction Hanual (p. 19) suggests "connecting a resistor whose resistance in ohms equals the recorder range in millivolts between the positive and negative b:i"nding posts."

While operating at sea, fluorometers must be firmly secured against a bulkhead. This makes it almost impossible to adjust the span control which is located at the rear of the unit. For this reason, we suggest this modification:

Install a voltage divider circuit, in lieu of one fixed resistor, which consists of a trimpot resistor and a fixed resistor across the positive and negative output binding posts. On the face plate of the fluorometer (Fig. 2), mount the trimpot, which will now serve as the output span adjust.

4.8.2 Correcting the G. K. Turner Fluorometer for Nonlinearity

4.8.2.1 Adjust the blank control on both the in vivo chlorophyll a and turbidity (nephelometer) fluorometers so that the fluorescence dials indicate 50.

4.8.2.2 Adjust the trimpots serving as "output span adjustment" (Section 4.8.1) on both fluorometers so that a fluorescence dial reading of 50 produces an output of 50 mV.

4.8.2.3 Rotate the fluorescence dial (on both fluorometers) by adjusting the blanking control, and record fluorometer output values at every 10 dial divisions ranging from 0 through 100 on the multipoint stripchart recorder.

4.8.2.4 Because no linear relationship exists between the fluorometer output and the multipoint stripchart recorder values, we constructed the calibration graph in Figure 22. Best least squares fit yields the following equation describing the curve: y = 1.064x - 3.19.

4.8.3 ac Frequency When using shipboard auxiliary power, it is imperative that the

input frequency to the fluoron<eter not vary more than ± 2 Hz froIn 60 Hz.

4.10.3 Determining Thermosalino:rraph Error Fluctuations Thermosalinograph error can be determined in the field by

drawing water samples from the remote salinity sensor overflow and measuring the salinity of the same water using a Plessey model 6230 Laboratory Induction Salinometer.

The following tabulation shows a comparison between some thermosalinograph (model 6600T) readings taken in the apex of the New York Bight, and corresponding salinity samples which were collected and later analyzed in the laboratory using the induction salinometer (model 6230).

4.11.2 Circuit Nodifications

4.11.2.1 A 90 V dc zener-controlled power supply replaces the 90 V dc battery suggested in the original schematic (consult Fig. 9).

4.11.2.2 A 2-k a 1 percent trimpot was designed into the circuit, enabling a 0 to 100 mV signal, taken from the meter circuit, to be interfaced with the multipoint stripchart recorder (Fig. 9).

4.11.3 Range Adjustment Procedure Proper adjustment of the coarse and fine range trimpots

(Fig. 9) was accomplished with the help of Spencer L. Baird. A voltage divider circuit (Fig. 9) was constructed where a

voltage can be tapped from trimpot resistors in series with a power source. The trimpot resistors, when properly adjusted, can be made to produce the proper voltage-resistance match for a given range of photocell resistance. When the trimpot resistors are correctly adjusted (consult Section 4.l1.S), the following trimpot combinations will produce the indicated ranges (sensitivities):

Trimpot Photometer Combination Ranges

1 M Q 1% + SOO-k a 1% = O.lX

200-k a 1% + 2-k a 1% = 1. ox SO-k a 1% + 2-k a 1% = 10.OX

50-k a 1% + l-ka 1% = SO.OX

For example: The lOX range is 5 times as sensitive as the 50x range.

4.11.3.1 Photometer Trimpot Alignment Procedure

4.11.3.1.1 Align photocell assembly (consult Section 3.6.8) on one end of an optical bench rail.

4.11.3.1.2 A 100 W clear incande~cent lamp is placed on the optical rail on the same level as, and at a distance of 10 ft from, the photocell assembly.

4.11.3.1.3 The O.lX range trimpots (1 M Q + 0.5 M Q) along with the sO-k Q calibration potentiometer of the photometer voltage divider circuit (Fig. 9) are adjusted such that the de microarrnneter in the photometer circuit reads 100.

4.11.3.1.4 The photometer range switch (Fig. 9) is then set to the 1.OX range. The 1.OX range trimpots (2-k Q + 200-k Q) are then adjusted so that the de microarraneter in the photometer circuit reaGS 10.

4.11.3.1.5 An additional clear incandescent lamp is placed adjacent to the first lamp on the optical rail. l'Ii th the use:' of a rheostat, the illumination is increased until the de microammeter in the photometer circuit reads 100.

4.11.3.1.6 The photometer range switch (Fig. 9) is then set to the ,lOX range. The lOX range trimpots (2-k Q + SO-k Q) are then adjusted so that the de microarrnneter reads 10.

4.11.3.1.7 The illumination of the second lamp is increased using the rheostat until the dc microarrnneter in the photometer circuit reads 100 on the lOX range.

4.11.3.1.8 The photometer range switch (Fig. 9) is then set to the SOX range. The SOX rangetrimpots (l-k Q + SO-k Q) are then adjusted so that the de microammeter in the photometer circuit reads 20.

4.11. 3 .1. 9 Set the function swi tch (Fig. 9) to the "2K calibrate" position. Note: The range switch should remain on the SOX range position during this procedure. The value now indicated on the de microammeter in the photometer circuit serves as a calibration reference. If this value should change, use the SO-k Q calibration potentiometer to adjust.

4.11.3.1.10 The 2-k Q trimpot span adjust (Fig. 9) serves to match the photometer output with the multipoint stripchart recorder.

4.11.4 Calibration Procedure The 4 pi isotropic underwater light meter was calibrated at

the Meteorological Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York. We used an Eppley pyrheliometer that has a wavelength response range of 400 to 25,000 nm.

4.11.4.1 The data of Figure 24 show the action spectrum of the Clairex CL-702 Photocell used in the underwater photometer.

4.11.4.2 Figure 25 represents a curve that relates the number of Langleys (g-cal/cm2/min) falling on the Clairex Cl-702 Photocells (measured using the Brookhaven National Laboratory pyrheliometer) to the electrical output of the photometer unit (measured using the multipoint stripchart recorder) .

5.0 PLUNKET Operation In this section, general PLUNKET operational procedures at Sea are

discussed.

5.1 Making a Hydrographic station

5.1."1 Deck Operations The research vessel will heave to on station while a deck crew

comprised of one winch operator and one or two "hose jockies" begin to lower the submersible pump assembly.

The winch operator controls the submersible pump assembly descent while the other crew, acting as "hose jockies," payout the hose and electrical cable at a rate similar to that of the de scending pump.

5.1.2 Shipboard Laboratory Operations The instrumentation specialist operating the PLUNKET system

must be in constant communication with the deck crew and the ship's bridge while on station.

5.1.2.1 As the submersible pump assembly is being lowered by the deck crew, the hull pump and its respective solenoid valve are turned off while the submersible pump and its respective solenoid valve are activated.

5.1.2.2 The submersible pump depth is monitored using the digital voltmeter readout in the pressure transducer circuit; the pump height above the seabed is monitored using the fathometer. When the desired maximum sampling depth is reached (usually 1 m above the seabed), the winch operator is instructed to stop pump descent.

5.1. 2.3 The submersible pumping system then purges hosewater for approximately 1 to 2 min. Flushinq rates will vary according to the individual pumping system (Section 3.1).

5.1.2.4 All wet lab valves are checked in order to ascertain proper flow rates to the individual sensors.

5.1.2.5 The remote salinity sensor is then checked for proper flow rate.

5.1. 2.6 The instrumentation specialist checks the ranges of all measuring instruments on the instrumentation module and wet lab.

5.1.2.7 When the proper range adjustments are complete, the mUltipoint and thermosalinograph stripchart recorders and data acquisitiol system are activated. The multipoint stripchart recorder logs a minimum of four measurements per variable per depth while th, data acquisition system records one block of data per depth.

5.1.2.8 Hhile data are being recorded, filtered and unfiltered seawate: samples can be drawn for further analysis.

5.1.2.9 When data for a specific depth are recorded, the instrumentati, specialist instructs the winch operator to raise the submersib pump assembly. As the pump is being raised, depth can be monitored until the next desired sampling point is reached.

70

Page 80: Technical Report No. 22 The Plunket, by December, …archive.somassbu.org/pubs/TR/MSRC-TR22.pdfDecember, 1975 Marine Sciences Research Center State University of New York Stony Brook,

At that peint, the winch eperater is instructed te step hauling in. Nete: While the pump assembly is being raised, excess hese and electrical cable are hauled onboard ship and coiled in large loeps athwartships.

5.1.2.10 The submersible pump then purges hesewater at the new depth for 1 to 2 min, after which steps 5.1.2.6 through 5.1.2.8 are repeated. Note: Beal-time data are .observed en the mUltipoint and thermesalinograph stripchart recerders which can be used by scientists to determine further sampling patterns. Exrunple: If a chlorephyll maximum appeared to range between 5 and 10 m, then sampling at 1 m intervals between 5 and 10 m weuld determine the depth of the chlerephyll maximum.

Versatility such as micrestructure sampling makes the PLUNKET system a practical and useful sampling instrument.

5.1.2.11 vlhen sampling at 1 m has been completed, the submersible pump and its respective solenoid valve are switched off while the hull pump and its respective soleneid valve are activated.

5.1.2.12 '£he submersible pump, remaining hese and electrical cables are brought aboard ship and secured.

5.2 Continueus Sampling between Stations When cruising between hydrographic stations, the hull pump samples

seawater from a fixed depth belew the ship's waterline (e.g. 1 m) • Flushing rates vary with individual pumping systems as, with this

system, a 4 sec delay exists between water entering the hull pump and water being measured by the instrumentati.on located in the shipboard laberatery. An 8.5 sec delay exists between seawater entering the hull pump and water being measured by the remote salinity sensor.

Construction of the PLUNKET Water Quality Monitoring System began in 1969 at the Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York at Stony Brook, to provide marine scientists with data from nearshore regions at rates previously impossible to obtain with conventional sampling equipment.

Ever since 1969, when the original submersible pump and thermistor-recorder system was developed, constant expansion and modification resulted in the present PLUNKET system described in this report.

The PLUNKET system is presently used to collect data for such scientific endeavors as: mathematical modeling of Long Island Sound, New York Harbor, and the New York Bight apex; water quality monitoring in the New York metropolitan and adjacent Long Island Sound waters; monitoring physical, chemical, and biological variables at sewage outfalls and ocean dump sites; providing background environmental data for the use in design, construction, and long-term operation of ocean outfalls that discharge secondarily treated domestic wastes (Baylor, 1973); monitoring of water quality indicators during periods of environmental stress; routine physical, chemical, and biological surveys of the New York Bight and continental slope waters; determining current patterns in bodies of water.

Data collected using the PLUNKET Water Quality Monitoring System are available in technical report form publis".i by the Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794.

Addendum

Fluorometers manufactured by Turner Designs® (address below) were incorporated in the PLUNKET to measure turbidity by nephelometry and in vivo chlorophyll ~ after the printing of this report.

Recently Turner Designs® developed a Model 10 series which replaces the G. K. Turner® Model III in the PLUNKET system for the following reasons (see references below) :

JlAutomatic range changei precise range multipliers; condensate on continuous flow sample cells eliminated, low power needs- A.C. or battery, completely protected against overloads, stability that only a three-beam system can give, extreme sensitivity, complete outputs­both fluorescence and range, solid state except light source and photomultiplier" (Turner Designs, 1974 a,b).
