November Seawater Data

Posted on by

This month is the first month with the new seawater sampling method. After several months of trying out the YSI digital salinity and temperature meter our contact at IOS told us to just use that instrument. Once a month we are to collect a sample using the old method with the thermometers and hydrometer in order to track any drift on the digital meter and to be able to calibrate the data.
