Reeling in CTD Data

Understanding Physical and Chemical Parameters of Ocean Water Using CTD Profiles

Overview


A focus of the PolarTREC Southern Ocean Diatoms expedition was to collect water samples and physical profile data using oceanographic technology. Oceanographers rely on the real-time data transferred from the water column to the ship-based computers using a CTD sensor. The CTD measures conductivity (salinity), temperature and depth
