Niskinn.

Brit.

/ˈnɪskɪn/, U.S.

/ˈnɪskɪn/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Niskin.

Etymology: < the name of Shale J. Niskin (1926–88), U.S. marine scientist, who described the bottle design in 1962 ( Deep-sea Res. 9 501–3).

Oceanography.

I. attributive.

1. Designating any of various types of seawater sampling bottle which can be opened by remote control from the surface and which are often used in conjunction with electronic probes for in situ measurement of water temperature, pressure, etc.; esp. in Niskin bottle.

ΚΠ

1965 Limnol. & Oceanogr. 10 547 The differences in particulate carbonate values between surface bucket and surface Niskin bottle samples are more striking than the differences in organic carbon.

1968 Marine Sci. Instrumentation 4 684/1 The water samplers are non-metallic, non-reversing Niskin bottles.

1970 Deep-sea Res. 17 175 A 10-l. glass-teflon sampler..and an in situ filtering device were used to check for possible particle contamination by the Niskin samplers.

1983 C. S. Wong et al. Trace Metals in Sea Water 190 The Niskin sampler showed a higher sampler average of 11.3±0.4 nmol kg⁻¹ and larger difference subsamples from the same cast.

1994 New Scientist 3 Dec. 34/2 We lowered Niskin bottles over the side to obtain subsurface seawater samples.

II. absol.

2. A Niskin bottle.

ΚΠ

1992 Jrnl. Plankton Res. 14 920 The correlation coefficient..was lower for the SIPS–Niskin comparison than for the SIPS–pump comparison.

1997 C. Goyet et al. Carbon Dioxide, Hydrographic, & Chem. Data obtained during Cruise TUNES-1 (Univ. Tennessee Environmental Sci. Div. Publ. No. 4651) For the 36 Niskins during the entire cruise the applied bottle blanks averaged 0.0016 pM/kg for CFC-12 and 0.0033 pM/kg for CFC-11.
