©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.The SBE 16plus V2 is a high accuracy conductivity and temperature recorder (pressure optional) with RS232 or RS485 interfaces. It is designed for moorings and other long-duration, fixed-site deployments. It has 6 amplified A/D input channels and conditioned power of 500 ma is available for auxiliary sensors, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, fluorescence, PAR etc. Compared to the previous 16plus, the V2 incorporates an electronics upgrade and additional features, with six differentially amplified A/D input channels, one RS-232 data input channel, and 64 MB FLASH memory. Data can be output in XML as well as ASCII and HEX formats. Firmware upgrades can be downloaded through the communications port, without opening the instrument.
| Dataset Name | PI-Supplied Description | PI-Supplied Name |
|---|---|---|
| Aquatic eddy covariance datasets collected under hypoxic conditions during summer cruises on the Oregon and Washington mid-shelf in 2018 and 2022 | On some deployments temperature and salinity were measured at 0.1 Hz with a Seabird 16plusV2CTD attached to the lander frame and these measurements were extrapolated to 8 Hz to coincide with the eddy covariance records. | Seabird 16plusV2CTD |
| Measurements of seawater temperature, depth, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) across seven sites at Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef from 2015 to 2020 | Seawater temperature, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and depth (2015-2016): Conductivity Temperature Depth units (SBE 16plusVS SEA-CAT) fitted with an auxiliary PAR sensor, Satlantic/ECO-PAR sensor) | SBE 16plus V2 SEACAT |
