Cells that have been contaminated with foreign material generally read low of the actual conductivity. Your zero (in air) conductivity reading is generally unaffected. The conductivity error due to fouling will generally be proportional to the conductivity value....
Example Data: Temperature and Conductivity are two of the most important values taken into consideration when our instrument calculates the practical salinity of seawater. When one sees a change in a measured value, such as temperature, that change will affect your...
Conductivity cells are made of glass, which is breakable. If a cell is cracked, it typically causes a salinity shift or erratic data. However, if the crack occurs at the end of the cell, the sensor will continue to function normally until water penetrates the epoxy...
In oceanographic research, accuracy isn’t just a technical goal - it’s a foundational requirement. Whether studying climate dynamics, monitoring marine ecosystems, or conducting deep-sea exploration, the accuracy of your measurements directly impacts the reliability...
We're Doing More to Keep You in the Water - Now at Lower Prices At Sea-Bird Scientific, we understand that access to high-quality data is essential for understanding and protecting aquatic ecosystems. We’ve heard from researchers, program managers, and field...
You Needed it Faster. Now We Can Deliver. We know long lead times have been a barrier. That's why we’ve streamlined and optimized our production process to prioritize the instruments you rely on most - the SBE 37 MicroCAT and the SBE 39plus. For a limited time, we're...
