Components

The CTD system consists of the underwater unit SBE 9plus, the deck unit SBE 11plus V2 and the carousel water sampler SBE32 which is equipped with free flow water samplers manufactured by Hydro-Bios. The CTD is outfitted with a double set of temperature (SBE 3plus) and conductivity (SBE 4C) sensors that are calibrated regularly. Additionally, an altimeter, a transmissometer, an oxygen sensor and a fluorometer may be attached to the CTD unit and operated to water depths of 6000m.

On the CTD data aquisition PC in the Messraum following software is installed: aquisition software Seasave (Version V7_19), SBE Data processing software, ManageCTD software packet for cleansing and conversion of the data and Ocean Data View (ODV) for visualization.
