Attention:

Please note that the Underway Conductivity-Temperature-Depth Probe (UCTD) requires experienced scientific staff on board. The installation of the system can be supported by ship's crew but the system is not operated by the ship's crew.

The water resistance of the system is unfortunately limited. In case of harsh weather conditions it is recommended to deinstall the system.

Summary

The CTD probe measures conductivity and temperature along a vertical transect through the water body.
