Our primary purpose in developing this instrument is to measure
vertical temperature fluctuations in the ocean to the smallest scales at
which they exist. This goal dictates the basic concept of the instrument,
as C. S. Cox saw in the 1960's. Vertical temperature changes are seen
as changes with time...
An autonomous, in-situ instrument was developed to detect dissolved copper in seawater, suitable for deployment on time scales from weeks to months. A commercially available in-situ nitrate analyzer (YSI 9600) was adapted to measure copper (II) in seawater by chemiluminescence. Modifications included construction of a photomultiplier (PMT) based detector and...
