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
Kate Miller's expedition, and an opportunity to receive a postcard from the South Pole, is featured in the Arlington Public Schools' publication "NewsCheck." This newsletter is emailed to teachers and available on the main website.
