ICES Guidelines for CTD data. (Compiled March 2000; revised August 2001; June 2006)
Abstract
CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) instruments were introduced to the
oceanography
community in the late 1960's. Since then, the electronic measurement of
conduct
ivity,
temperature and pressure provided by the CTD has become the backbone of
hydrography
measurements in the ocean.
CTDs typically consist of an array of sensors that measure the frequency or voltage
response that
represents changes in an ocean paramet
er. Beyond the typical conductivity
and temperature
sensors, CTDs may also have attached sensors for light transmission,
fluorescence, oxygen
content, optical backscatter and turbidity. For details regarding the
use of CTDs

training annex
