Attention:

Please note that the system can only be operated upon request. Operations of the Salinometer requires experienced scientific staff on board. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Announce operations with the Salinometer to AWI-Logistics prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.

Summary

The Precision Salinometer calculates the salinity of a water sample from the measurement of the electrical conductivity and the determination of its temperature. The calculations are based on the Practical Salinity Scale 1978 (PSS78) as published by UNESCO.
