JR16005 DynOPO CTD Data: Instrumentation
A Sea-Bird 911 plus CTD system was used on cruise JR16005. This was mounted on a SBE-32 carousel water sampler that was modified with four ChiPod instruments (two facing up, and two facing down) installed on the speed frame. The majority of the niskin bottles (1-6, and 13-24) were removed from the CTD frame in order to reduce the turbulence caused by the CTD to improve the quality of the ChiPods. The CTD was fitted with the following scientific sensors:
