Accuracy of Temperature Measurements with the VACM.

Abstract

The report describes temperature measurement techniques with the Vector Averaging Current Meter (VACM) designed at WHOI and manufactured at AMF. Included are descriptions of circuitry, calibration techniques and calibration results. Precision calibrations of VACM thermistors began in 1971 at WHOI. Of the thermistors in our pool, 70 have had at least 3 calibrations over a period no shorter than 2 years. Of these 70 thermistors the results described show that 51 are stable.
