At the CTD water sampling, seawater was collected in a Niskin water sampling bottle (gray bottle pictured below). This seawater is divided and placed into glass bottles for oxygen measurement (oxygen bottle, DO bottle). Once placed in the glass bottle (DO bottle), fixative solution I and II are injected into the bottle, and then the lid of the DO bottle is put on.
In the DO water sampling process, it is important to prevent oxygen from the air from entering the sample seawater in the glass bottle, to avoid bubbles, and to reduce contact with the air as much as possible.

DO瓶を上下逆さまにして、気泡の有無を確認Turn DO bottle upside down and check for air bubbles 気泡があったら、やり直しIf there are air bubbles, start over.
