Customer Applications using Sea-Bird Instruments

Are you willing to share your knowledge with the oceanographic community, to:

• Enhance scientific knowledge?
• Start a lively discussion with your peers on the pros and cons of various methods?
• See your name up in lights on the Sea-Bird website?

Do you have:

• An interesting application for a Sea-Bird instrument?
• An interesting deployment method for a Sea-Bird instrument?
• A data processing technique to further enhance the data from your Sea-Bird instrument?
• A great photo of a deployment with a Sea-Bird instrument?
• Something else of interest to share, like the time the cable broke and the Sea-Bird instrument dropped to the bottom of the ocean, and . . . (you get the idea)

No forms to fill out; just contact Debbie Bresko (dbresko@seabird.com) with your contact information (phone number as well as email address), and:

• Your story, and any accompanying photos and data. We may tweak the story (no one expects you to be an Ernest Hemingway), and with your permission (and approval of the final article) we will share the information with the oceanographic community.   OR
• A link to your story or video on another website.

• The Ghost Mooring -- WHOI engineers find equipment lost in the Antarctic a decade ago. WHOI was able to recover the MicroCAT data (they had long since stopped recording), and there was enough remaining battery power so that the clocks in the MicroCATs were only off by 1 hour and 30 minutes after 10+ years!
• Northeast Fisheries Science Center blog on an ecosystem monitoring cruise, which used an SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler and CTD.
• Washington State Department of Ecology, Marine Flight Program for Water Quality Monitoring Video, with deployment of specially configured Sea-Bird CTD package.
• BBC World documentary featuring Argo floats with Sea-Bird CTDs.
• WHOI video on the research vessel R/V Oceanus, on a cruise to study health and function of plankton in the western North Atlantic
