During a survey in Lofoten in may 1989 a new miniature CTD which is being developed at the Inst. of Marine Research was mounted to the ship`s ordinary serial 1223 CTD- profiler on 10 different CTD- stations. Using the ...

The paper describes a general-system for design of oceanographic instruments.. The system uses a standard mechanical housing and a v~riety of compatible electronic units which can be plugged into the hausing in a few ...

The paper describes the design philosophy and functions of a new general purpose oceanographic instrument which is presently being tested as a prototype. The instrument combines established oceanic sensors with ...

By installing recording instruments on board, Inst. of Marine Research has since 1935 collected temperature and salinity data from waters being trafficed by passenger ships from Bergen to Kirkenes and and from cargo ships ...

The paper describes a system for simplified calibration of a new STD instrument. When measuring, the raw data from the instrument conductivity, temperature and pressure sensors are fed into a microprocessor inside the ...

The paper describes a measuring system for profiling of the upper few hundred meters of the sea. The system consists of a recording instrument and a readout unit. The recording instrument has sensors for current, direction, ...

For several years Inst. of Marine Research Bergen has been developing miniaturized modular current meters. Thanks to major improvements in electronic component technology in recent years, a physically small current meter ...

The paper describes a logging system which aims at integrating various forrns for primary data recording into a common standard that can be handled by the same reading and data processing equipment, Some illustrative ...

The paper describes a way of measuring salinity by direct measurements of the fraction of total sound velocity that is dependent of salinity only. Preliminary experiments indicate an obtainable precision of appr. 1/100 ...
