Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) and Dissolved Oxygen Sensors

First CTD of VISIONS11

Sensors on the conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) instrument measure the salinity and temperature of seawater, which are fundamental to understanding the physical structure of the ocean. A dissolved oxygen sensor measures the available oxygen present in the water, which gives clues to the ability of the ocean to sustain animal life.
