Conceptually, inductive moorings seem complex – communicating with 100 instruments through a single cable doesn’t exactly sound intuitive. But, in practice, the setup is surprisingly simple. Watch our latest video to see how easy it is to test and simulate an inductive modem mooring.
Precision engineering is meaningless without proper calibration. Learn why calibration is an important aspect of Sea-Bird Scientific sensors.
SeaCATs, the CTD family consisting of the 16plus V2 and 19plus V2, were first developed in late 1985 back when Sea-Bird had barely evolved past a garage operation. When a customer requested a moored CTD – the first that Sea-Bird had ever built, Sea-Bird's team...

This salinity profile was from an arctic deployment in rough seas. At a certain point, we see regular salinity spikes of about ± .01 psu in the upcast data. Can you determine what caused this?
You never know what’s floating on the surface. That’s why Sea-Bird created the STS – to prevent the main Argo CTD from ingesting surface contaminants, but still obtain surface data. Learn how it helps extend deployments.
Did you know that the sensors that power BGC-Argo are also in heavy use on shipboard and moored platforms? Learn about the analogous BGC sensors for deployment on moorings and vessels, and how your field crew can keep stride with ocean robots.
Believe it or not, the first profiling floats couldn’t measure temperature and salinity. They solely traced ocean currents, totally ignorant of the sweet CTD data they were passing by. Adding a CTD changed the game. Learn more about the early beginnings of Argo, and how Sea-Bird’s first float CTD helped change the face of oceanography.
Our training videos focus on useful information that we usually don’t cover in Sea-Bird University. Watch now to learn about topics ranging from troubleshooting water samplers to understanding solid-state pH sensors. View Our Video Collection Have a request for a new...

Sea-Bird Scientific is proud to partner with Sequoia Scientific in hosting the first Ocean Science & Technology Conference in Seattle, Washington on Thursday, September 14th. This conference will enable those in the Seattle area to network, connect, and discuss...
Sea-Bird Scientific was proud to host an Ocean Science Mixer and Networking Event in Seattle, Washington, on June 1, 2023 for World Oceans Day. Following our virtual webinar on Forging Your Career in Academia and Industry in partnership with The Oceanography Society...
On Wednesday, July 12th, the team at Sea-Bird Scientific took time out of their day to go to one of our local beaches and pick up trash. Early July is an especially critical time of year to do beach clean-ups, given the proximity to the 4th of July in the United...
