Description

The WET Labs {Sea-Bird WETLabs} ECO Puck Triplet BB3SLO scattering sensor is a variant of the ECO Puck Triplet. The BB3 is a three-optical-sensor, user-defined instrument that carries 3 scattering meters. ECO Pucks are real‐time only sensors as they are integrated onto the OEM platform that provides power and data handling. The SLO designation signifies this is a 1st generation model that is specific for integration into Slocum gliders. The fluorometers and scattering meter are single wavelength sensors. The model is depth-rated to 600 meters.

Bio-optical measurements made using the shipboard flow-through system within three hours of CTD casts conducted on R/V Robert Gordon Sproul cruises along the Southern California coast during July and August 2023Coincident measurements of particulate backscattering (bbp) at three wavelengths (λ = 470, 532, and 660 nm) were made with an ECO-BB3 (serial number 349; Sea-Bird Scientific [WET Labs, Inc.]) set in a custom enclosure (Dall’Olmo et al., 2009).
