OCEAN-CTD

(Oceanic Condition and Environmental Analysis)

Explore how marine animal behaviour relates to their oceanic environment by collecting oceanographic-quality Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth profiles, and dive data from tagged animals.

Features

  • Oceanographic quality temperature & salinity profiles (4 – 12 profiles per day)
  • Option for received CTD profiles to automatically be submitted to the GTS in near real-time
  • Up to 50,000 full length Argos data transmissions
  • pressure-proof to 2000m
Isomorphic view of CTD SRDL (CAD rendering)
