Instruments

Fluorometer

Supplied Name: Seapoint fluorometer

Supplied Description:

CMORE : BAG underway data was collected using a SeaBird SBE-21 Seacat thermosalinograph system and a Seapoint fluorometer. They were screened for errors and processed to 1-minute averages.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Fluorometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/113/

Generic Description:

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of fluorescence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. The instrument is designed to measure the amount of stimulated electromagnetic radiation produced by pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted into a water sample or in situ.

Sea-Bird SeaCAT Thermosalinograph SBE 21

Supplied Name: SeaBird SBE-21 Seacat thermosalinograph system

Supplied Description:

CMORE : BAG underway data was collected using a SeaBird SBE-21 Seacat thermosalinograph system and a Seapoint fluorometer. They were screened for errors and processed to 1-minute averages.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SeaCAT Thermosalinograph SBE 21

Acronym: SeaBird SBE-21 Seacat

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0667/

Generic 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.
