CTD Profile: “Wiggles” in Data
The data above come from a profiling CTD, deployed in sea conditions that caused approximately 1-meter ship heave. Two things stick out – relatively unchanging salinity data during the downcast, and noisy data during the upcast (shown in light blue and pink). Can you identify the cause of this problem?

Detecting Oil Spills
There are a handful of methods for measuring oil in water. For large disasters such as the Deepwater Horizon spill, flow-rate estimations and calculations of spill area × spill thickness can provide a quantifiable range. But for the situations that we’re more likely to encounter, including smaller spills or detecting the presence of unknown oil, we need an in-situ approach. Learn how optical fluorescence and backscattering sensors can help detect and quantify oil spills.
