Instrumentation for sampling the water column, the atmosphere and the seabed

 

-GravityCorer

Oceanographic instrument designed to collect sediment samples from the seabed. The gravity core is dropped vertically in the water and it falls by gravity to penetrate the ground for later recovery.

-CTD SBE911 plus, CTD SBE9 plus + cover unit Sea-Bird SBE11 plus V2.

Oceanographic instrument used to measure the parameters of conductivity, temperature and pressure in the water column, you can also add other sensors to measure other parameters such as turbidity, oxygen, chlorophyll among others. In addition, a system called carousel can be installed where a series of Niskin bottles are installed. Sampling bottles are closed at predefined depths, activated manually or by a computer, and water samples can be analyzed later to determine the biological parameters and chemicals.

The CTD SBE911 plus has the following sensors:

  • SBE3plus temperature sensor
  • 4C Conductivity sensor
  • 5T pump

Auxiliary sensors:

  • WetLabs FLRTD Fluorometer
  • SeaPoint STM Turbidimeter
  • SeaBird SBE43 oxygen sensor
  • Wetlabs C-Star transmitter
  • PSA-916 Benthos Altimeter
