This movie explains preparation for collecting by plankton net sampling in the Arctic Ocean.
Raising the CTD
This is a video of CTD observation in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean. The sea surface will be frozen in a few weeks.
Plankton net Operation 1
This is a movie of plankton collection by the plankton net (NORPAC net). We explain up to the scene of plankton net down into the sea.
Plankton net Operation 2
This is a movie of plankton collection by the plankton net (NORPAC net). We explain how to retrieve the plankton net from the sea.
Operation of Closing PCP net 1
This is a state of plankton collection by the plankton net (closing PCP net). We explain from the introduction to the collection of the net.
Operation of Closing PCP net 2
This is a movie of plankton collection by the plankton net (closing PCP net). We explain the scene how to operate the closing PCP net and the net is closed with the messenger.
Sorting Zooplankton on Board
This is a movie of zooplankton sorting on board. You can see the detailed work on board. Picking up a swimming zooplankton is difficult at first, but it gets easy.
Marginal Sea-ice Zone
This is a video of the marginal sea-ice zone. It is taken during the standing time before the plankton net sampling.
Plankton net Observation in Marginal Sea-ice Zone
This is a movie of plankton net sampling in the marginal sea-ice zone of the Arctic Ocean. Unlike normal sea condition, sea ice floats on the surface, so we need to be careful to observe it safely. It also briefly explains the suite wearing all crew and scientist in polar regions.
