Table 5.1. Overview on CTD-related sensors or water sampler devices used during cruise 067I033-1.
The CTD sensor package consisted of a primary and a secondary pair of temperature (T) and
conductivity (C) sensors that were each connected to a particular pump and the main CTD
housing carrying a pressure sensor. A through-flow oxygen sensor was connected to the pri-
mary T/C sensor pair. In addition, a dual-wavelength sensor of type WetlabECO delivering
simultaneously fluorescence and turbidity data was attached to and powered by the CTD sys-
tem. The distance to the sea bottom was estimated from an altimeter of type Valeport VA500.
Inlets of the two T/C sensor pairs were soaked in distilled water before the start and after the
