Instrument: Sea-Bird SeaCAT Thermosalinograph SBE 21

Instrument Short Name: SeaBird SBE-21 Seacat
(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0667/)
Instrument Description:

A platinum-electrode conductivity sensor and a thermistor mounted in a corrosion-resistant plastic and titanium housing designed to be continuously plumbed into a vessel's pumped seawater supply. The instrument may be interfaced to a remote SBE 38 temperature sensor mounted either on the hull or in the seawater inlet. Data are both stored in internal memory and output to a serial port for external logging.  Conductivity is measured in the range 0-7 S/m with an accuracy of 0.001 S/m and a resolution  of 0.0001 S/m. Housing temperature is measured in the range -5-35C with an accuracy of 0.01 C and a resolution  of 0.001 C. Remote temperature is measured in the range -5-35C  with an accuracy of 0.001 C and a resolution  of 0.0003 C. More information at http://www.seabird.com/products/spec_sheets/21data.htm.
