Rosette water sampler
The rosette carries 24 bottles of 12 liters each that can be triggered to close at different depths. All the bottles are latched open before the rosette is lowered into the water. The rosette sinks to the depth of the deepest sample needed and then an electrical signal from the ship will trigger a bottle to close trapping water from that depth. As the rosette is winched up additional bottles will be triggered when a sample of that water depth is wanted. The rosette also carries instruments to record Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD).
