IM systems eliminate the need for connectors entirely, transforming a mooring’s tether into a medium for real-time data transmission.
Zooming in shows salinity and dissolved oxygen are fluctuating heavily alongside the tidal cycle. Can you determine what is causing this?
With auxiliary sensor integration, the humble CTD becomes a powerful hub for sampling and data. Learn how to identify the required cable for any sensor integration.
Watch how one of our Senior Service Technicians replaces the O-rings on the endcap of a 9plus CTD using specialized tools.
Can you correctly label the 4 plots? Hint: this area is subject to periods of eutrophication during the late summer/early fall.
From bottom contact triggers to transmissometers, oceanographic sensor options are vast and diverse, and choosing the right combination of sensors can significantly augment a CTD’s measurement capabilities. Although getting disparate technologies to talk to one...
Dissolved oxygen should not be negative. Can you determine the error that created the unusual oxygen profile above?
Unlike analog auxiliary sensors, instruments that output serial RS-232 data are more challenging to integrate with Sea-Bird Scientific CTDs. Despite RS-232 being a standard communication protocol, most instruments have a unique data output format and command set. As...
Consider this hypothetical situation: you find a loose cable with a 6-pin connector and a 4-pin connector - exactly what you need to connect an oxygen sensor to your CTD. However, just because the cable ends fit on the instrument connectors, you still don’t know if...
The data shows conductivity from a 19plus deployed in a shallow estuarine river. The red line shows the CTD downcast and the green line shows the upcast. While the upcast data show the expected shape for a CTD profile (low conductivity at the surface, rising conductivity as the CTD descends), the downcast shows an unusual shape in until about 2.6 meters depth, where conductivity appears to suddenly correct itself.
