Instrument: WET Labs {Sea-Bird WETLabs} C-Star transmissometer

Acronym: WL CSTAR Trans
External Identifier: skos:closeMatch: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0160/

Description

The C-Star transmissometer has a novel monolithic housing with a highly intgrated opto-electronic design to provide a low cost, compact solution for underwater measurements of beam transmittance. The C-Star is capable of free space measurements or flow-through sampling when used with a pump and optical flow tubes. The sensor can be used in profiling, moored, or underway applications. Available with a 6000 m depth rating.
