Abstract

This item contains plankton sample data sheets for two cruises: Dawson (June to July 1970) and Rockaway-Romos (July to September 1970). Dawson collected in the North Atlantic Ocean. Rockaway-Romos collected mostly in the North Atlantic Ocean, but also in the Mediterranean Sea. "Romos" possibly refers to the person recording data. The bulk of the collection consists of data sheets recording some of the following information: "opening and closing plankton tows", "Nansen bottles", ship and cruise no., station no., sample number, total no. samples, coordinates, date, local time, tow type, net in, net out, length of tow, wire angle at max depth, flowmeter reading, corrected depth range, flowmeter no., displacement vol., flowmeter calibration factor, corrected displ. vol., vol. H20 filtered, wire angle information, sky condition, sea condition, surface water temperature, BT slide data, BT temperature, remarks, comments, or observations, and observer name.
