Statement

Samples for vertical profiles were collected from water bottles attached to a CTD rosette while samples for horizontal transects were collected from the ship's non-toxic seawater supply with an intake depth about 6 - 7 m. Chemical analyses were undertaken using a custom-built Segmented-Flow Analyser initially based on Chemlab colorimeters and Ismatec proportioning pumps until 1993 when Technicon colorimeters were adopted. Initially, data were logged to paper chart and processed manually but in the mid-1980s, data extraction was automated and processing was managed with a digitising tablet and associated PC. In 1993 as part of a comprehensive re-build, data were logged to a PC. Data acquisition and subsequent processing was achieved with custom-built software (BAS in-house and Cambridge Beacon Ltd) and this was updated further in the mid-1990s when National Instrument data acquisition programmes were used to collect data, and calibration along with data organisation were switched to commercially available spreadsheets. Data collected during transecting were logged along with a time-stamp acquired from the central ship's clock to allow synchronisation with concurrent measurements such as temperature and salinity from the ship's Oceanlogger system.
