Palmer NBP-98-2 cruise in the Southern Ocean, 1998 (U.S. JGOFS AESOPS project) | The Woods Hole Interstitial Marine Probe (WHIMP; Martin and Sayles, 1996) was specially designed for in situ porewater sampling. The WHIMP is equipped with an in situ whole-core squeezer (Bender et al., 1987; Sayles and Dickinson, 1991) for high resolution sampling near the sediment-water interface. It is a 'lander' system of the 'Smith type' that differs from its predecessors primarily in that it incorporates a number of different sampling and analysis strategies onto a single platform. The designers of the WHIMP sampling system wanted to be able to carry out sediment and pore water studies, direct flux measurements with chambers, and conduct in-situ experiments at the same place and time. It includes a syringe to extract water samples at various depths, ranging from less than an inch to two feet. References:
