Instruments

We have access to the following range of scientific instruments.

Current profilers

• Teledyne RDI WorkHorse Monitor ADCP 1200 kHz with Bottom Track and High Resolution options
• Teledyne RDI WorkHorse Monitor ADCP 600 kHz with Bottom Track option
• Teledyne RDI DVL 600 kHz with Water Column Profiling option (currently mounted in the Scanfish III ROTV of R/V Aurora

Water column profiler

• Sea-Bird SBE 19plus V2 SeaCAT CTD

Auxiliary sensors

• WET Labs ECO BB optical backscatter
• Turner Designs Cyclops-7 chlorophyll fluorometer
• Turner Designs Cyclops-7 CDOM fluorometer
• Turner Designs Cyclops-7 fluorescein dye fluorometer
• Turner Designs Cyclops-7 turbidity sensor
• Sea-Bird SBE 43 Dissolved Oxygen sensor
• Benthos PSA-916 altimeter

These may be used with a CTD or other profiling platforms or in the laboratory. All Turner Designs instruments and the SBE 43 sensor may be built into the pumped flow path of the SBE 19plus CTD, ensuring optimal data quality and resolution of fine temporal and spatial gradients in the water column.

Water level, temperature and salinity loggers

• Onset HOBO Water Level 4 m (for shallow water or atmospheric pressure)
• Onset HOBO Water Level 9 m
• Onset HOBO Conductivity

Other instruments

In addition, we have access to a number of other pieces of equipment, including sediment corers and water samplers.

The list is subject to change as new instruments are purchased or arrangements to borrow instruments are made.
