2. Salinometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinometer

   TDS meter – used for checking of Total Dissolved solids of a liquid. Saline (medicine) – A saline solution being isotonic with that of human blood is 0.9% w/v, c. 300 mOsm/L (and this being the same as the salinity of the ocean is a common myth. The ocean on average has a much higher concentration of sodium chloride as well as many other salts.

3. Acoustic Doppler current profiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Doppler_Current...

   An acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) is a hydroacoustic current meter similar to a sonar, used to measure water current velocities over a depth range using the Doppler effect of sound waves scattered back from particles within the water column.

4. Drifter (oceanography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifter_(oceanography)

   Salinity. A salinity sensor (specifically, a highly accurate pair of conductivity and temperature sensors) is used to measure sea surface salinity at the base of the surface float. This can also be done deeper on the tether between the float and the drogue. [15] Wind. A sonic anemometer and a wind vane are used to measure wind speed and wind ...

   Annual mean sea surface salinity for the World Ocean. Data from the World Ocean Atlas 2009. [1] International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans (IAPSO) standard seawater. Salinity (/ s ə ˈ l ɪ n ɪ t i /) is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity). It is ...

6. Total dissolved solids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_dissolved_solids

   Bottled mineral water usually contains higher TDS levels than tap water.. Total dissolved solids (TDS) is a measure of the dissolved combined content of all inorganic and organic substances present in a liquid in molecular, ionized, or micro-granular (colloidal sol) suspended form.

7. CTD (instrument) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTD_(instrument)

   The instrument is lowered into the water in what is called the downcast to a determined depth or to a few meters above the ocean floor, generally at a rate of about 0.5 m/s. Most of the time a conducting wire cable is attached to the CTD frame connecting the CTD to an onboard computer, and allows instantaneous uploading and real time ...
