NTR: Request for sediment suction samplers [BODCNVS-324]

louatbodc commented 4 years ago

Required

Term name (PrefLabel)

sediment suction samplers

Definition

Devices that collect samples of surface sediment using suction. The mechanism of suction can be accomplished by either vacuum, by pressure difference between the air inside the sampler and surrounding water, by pumping water directly into the sampler or by under pressure air to elevate the sediment inside the sampler. Devices are typically diver- or remotely-operated.

Sources/references

Requesting new term as part of handling a request from DASSH (UK). The term is requested to cover a mechanism of sampling that is different to sediment grabs.

Sounds fine, one ambiguity in the definition around the use of 'surface' assuming this means bottom or sediment layer surface.

Hi Neil

How does this sound?

Definition

Devices that collect samples from the sediment layer surface using suction. The mechanism of suction can be accomplished by either vacuum, by pressure difference between the air inside the sampler and surrounding water, by pumping water directly into the sampler or by under pressure air to elevate the sediment inside the sampler. Devices are typically diver- or remotely-operated.
