| The CTD is perhaps the most commonly used tool in an oceanographer's armoury, providing detailed profile and time series data on the measured parameters Conductivity, Temperature and Pressure, but more particularly the calculated values of Salinity, Density and Sound Velocity. Today's powerful data acquisition systems also allow the addition of multiple additional sensors measuring chemical, optical and other physical parameters, such as pH, Redox (ORP), turbidity, dissolved oxygen, PAR and chlorophyll (amongst others). |
