Calibration and CTD intercomparison for the Long Island Sound Study

Abstract

from the introduction, "Beginning in April 1988, CTD cruises were conducted in western Long Island sound under the EPA National Estuary Program's Long Island Sound Study. An Applied Microsystem (AMS) CTD Model STD 12 was used. At the same time, cruises were also conducted in the eastern Sound by the Marine Science Institute of the University of Connecticut using Seabird Seacat Model SBE 19 CTD. After June, 1989 some supplemental cruises were also run int eh western Sound by Marine Sciences Research Center using a Seabird Seacat Model SBE 19 CTD. The results of an intercomparison done among these three instruments are presented in this report."
