Instruments

CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT 19

Supplied Name: CTD Seabird 19

Supplied Description:

SeaBird SeaCat SBE-19 CTD profiler with
Seapoint Fluorescence sensor, however no fluorescence data were recorded

Instrument Type

Generic Name: CTD Sea-Bird SEACAT 19

Acronym: CTD SBE 19

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0042/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird SBE 19 SEACAT Recorder measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth). The SEACAT is self-powered and self-contained and can be deployed in profiling or moored mode. The SBE 19 SEACAT was replaced in 2001 by the 19plus. more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
