MicroCTD

Shortened turbulence and CTD profiler for lakes, reservoirs and estuaries, handled from small vessels, with a 0–100 m depth range.

Description

The MicroCTD was designed together with estuarine physicists for turbulence measurements in tidally influenced shallow waters. The instrument is shortened so it can be handled from small vessels such as a Zodiac while maximizing the profiling range. It uses the same microstructure sensor suite as the VMP series, with an oceanographic reference CT sensor as standard, and includes flotation and a release shackle for upward profiling.

Key features

  • 2 shear probes and an FP07 micro-temperature probe
  • 2 vibration sensors, pressure and tilt sensors
  • Optional fluorometer/turbidity sensor and additional FP07
  • Depth range 0 – 100 m

Applications

Turbulence measurements in lakes, reservoirs and estuaries.
