Concept Evaluation for New Small Scale Oceanographic Temperature and Salinity Measurement Technique.

Abstract

A new concept for making measurements of ocean temperature and salinity down to spatial scales of about one centimeter is evaluated. A common measurement cell incorporating both an accurate electrical conductivity sensor and a sound velocity sensor is expected to provide fast response rates and little bias due to 'mismatch' between the sensor response rates. Resolution and frequency response are limited only by cell size and flushing rate. (Author)
