Attention:
Please note that the Ferrybox can only be operated upon request. Request operations with the Ferrybox to AWI-Logistics in sufficient time prior to the cruise.
Ferrybox data stored in data acquisition system DShip are uncorrected measurement data.
Summary
The FerryBox is an automatic, flow-through system to measure water parameters (e.g. temperature, conductivity, sound velocity, pH, fluorescence) continously and unattended.
