Abstract
Improvements in the measurement of salinity and dissolved
oxygen during the past few years at WHOI have increased the accuracy of
salinity observations to +/- 0.001 ppt and that of dissolved oxygen
determinations to +/- 0.04 ml/1. These improvements are attributable to
the careful maintenance of the sample collection and analysis
equipment, the construction of portable, sea going laboratories in
which the temperature is constant to +/- 1 degree C and the skillful
use of an Autosal 8400-A salinometer and a Metrohm Titroprocessor by
well trained technicians. An automated data logging system eliminates
transcription errors and facilitates the timely calibration of the CTD
sensors.
