1 Scope
This document specifies the technical requirements to ensure consistent reporting
on the test method, inspection rules, marks, packaging, transportation and storage
of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profilers.
This document is applicable to marine fixed-point and mobile observation, monitoring
platform and the various types of shipborne CTD measuring instruments.
NOTE A CTD directly measures conductivity, temperature, pressure of seawater. Depth is the conversion of pressure according to the Formula (C.1).
