Page 170 We draw the following conclusions from the research papers listed above: Investigators using specialized equipment under scrupulously controlled laboratory conditions report measurements of SV vs. changes in temperature, salinity, and pressure which differ by 0.5 meters/second and more. It is unrealistic to expect that commercial direct-measurement instruments will be more accurate under field conditions than the laboratory equipment used by successions of careful researchers.

To achieve the accuracy of which the sensors are capable, an accounting for the effect of hydrostatic loading (pressure) on the conductivity cell is necessary.
Page 172 DISCUSSION OF PRESSURE CORRECTION Conductivity cells do not measure the specific conductance (the desired property), but rather the conductance of a specific geometry of water. The ratio of the cell’s length to its cross-sectional area (cell constant) is used to relate the measured conductance to specific conductance.

Page 176 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRESSURE AND DEPTH Despite the common nomenclature (CTD = Conductivity - Temperature - Depth), all CTDs measure pressure, which is not quite the same thing as depth. The relationship between pressure and depth is a complex one involving water density and compressibility as well as the strength of the local gravity field, but it is convenient to think of a decibar as essentially equivalent to a meter, an approximation which is correct within 3% for almost all combinations of salinity, temperature, depth, and gravitational constant.
Page 177: Specifications
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SENSOR Initial accuracy and resolution are expressed as a percentage of the full scale range for the pressure sensor. The initial accuracy is 0.1% of the full scale range. Resolution is 0.002% of full scale range, except for the SBE 25 (0.015% resolution).
Page 178 MINIMIZING ERRORS Offset Errors Note: Follow the procedures below for all instruments except the SBE 26plus (see the 26plus manual for details). The primary offset error due to drift over time can be eliminated by comparing CTD readings in air before beginning the profile to readings from a barometer.
Page 179 Hysteresis Errors Hysteresis is the term used to describe the failure of pressure sensors to repeat previous readings after exposure to other (typically higher) pressures. The Druck sensor employs a micro-machined silicon diaphragm into which the strain elements are implanted using semiconductor fabrication techniques. Unlike metal diaphragms, silicon’s crystal structure is perfectly elastic, so the sensor is essentially free of pressure hysteresis.

Page 225 Temperature differences between the water and oxygen sensor can lead to errors in the oxygen measurement. The SBE 43 minimizes this difference by using materials that equilibrate rapidly with the environment and incorporating a thermistor placed under the membrane, at the cathode, for accurate temperature compensation. As a result, the SBE 43 is less susceptible to error when profiling through areas of high temperature gradients than previous oxygen sensors.
Page 226 Summary of Response Times for Moored Applications The first plot below is derived from the preceding plot and may be used to determine the time required from power- up and pump turn-on to the availability of an acceptable dissolved oxygen sample with a 0.5-mil membrane. For simplicity, we generally recommend a minimum pump time of 15 seconds for 15 °C and warmer water, and reference the 1% curve below for colder water.
Page 227 Use in Hydrogen Sulfide (H S) Environments SBE 43 oxygen sensors can be used for hours in hydrogen sulfide rich environments with no ill effects to sensor elements or signal calibration. Poisoning of oxygen sensors in hydrogen sulfide environments was a phenomenon common to early sensor designs that used silver as the cathode element.
Page 228 Tau Correction Note the derivative term [tau(T,P) * δV/δt]; this correction term’s function is to improve the response of the measured signal in regions of large oxygen gradients. However, this term also amplifies residual noise in the signal (especially in deep water), and in some situations this negative consequence overshadows the gains in signal responsiveness.
Page 229 Notes: 1. There are several types of oxygen data that can be calculated, as desired, in all of these software versions: • Oxygen, SBE (units of ml/l, mg/l, or micromoles/kg, as selected) – measured SBE 43 oxygen, based on the equation shown above in Oxygen Algorithm.
Page 230 • Preventive Field Maintenance Between Profiles: After each cast, flush with a 0.1% solution of Triton X-100, using a 60 cc syringe (see Application Note 34). Then rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Between casts, ensure that the sensor remains shaded from direct sunlight and stays cool and humidified. Plugging the inlet and exhaust of the plumbing after rinsing will trap sufficient humidity.

Page 240 The SBE 43 is expected to provide an output voltage that is linear with respect to oxygen concentration.

Page 242 Processing Procedure Using SBE Data Processing The linear regression that yields a new Soc and Voffset may be accomplished with spreadsheet software, a hand-held calculator with statistical capability, or (with perseverance) a calculator, graph paper, and pencil. As a first step, extract pressure, temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation, and SBE 43 voltage from the parts of your CTD data collected when the water sampler closures occurred.
Page 243 In the example above, Data Conversion will begin extracting data 5 seconds before each water sampler closure (Scan range offset = -5 s) and will extract a total of 10 seconds of data (Scan range duration = 10 s). Note that 10 seconds is longer than the SBE 43 response time.
Page 244 Create a table with average pressure, temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation, and SBE 43 output voltage for each water sampler closure depth, by importing the .btl file into a spreadsheet. Then, enter by hand the Winkler titration dissolved oxygen values from your titration log, matching water sampler closures to pressures. φ...

SBE 43 Calibration Adjustment or Data Correction for Long-Term Deployments using Sparse Reference Values The following methods are used to correct fouled SBE 43 sensor data collected primarily in moored applications. They can be applied to oxygen data when only sparse reference samples are available to verify sensor calibration. The methods should be applied only to individual sensors (i.e., a correction calculated for one sensor cannot be applied to other sensors on the mooring).
Page 246 The loss of sensitivity attributed to fouling of the sensor membrane is observed as a linear change in the sensor output when compared to a set of reference samples (Figure 7 and Table 2). The ratio of the reference sample values to the SBE 43 measured DO concentrations remains constant over the range of the sensor (for multiple values of DO).
Page 247 Example of In Situ Data Correction for Continuous Real-Time Mooring Data Applications In this example, we use data collected with an SBE 43 dissolved oxygen sensor deployed in an urban marina for 4 months during the biologically active spring and summer seasons. The integrated SBE 43 and CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth sensor) was moored at 2 meters water depth and sampled every 10 minutes following a 30-second flush cycle.
Page 248 Example of Post-Processing Data Correction Sometimes, in-field validation is not possible. This restricts correction of possibly fouled data to post-processing, and requires a reference validation sample be taken at the end of the deployment or soon after the instrument is recovered.

Example Calculation of Scale Factor from field calibration: Seawater sample analysis shows chlorophyll-a is 50 μg/l when fluorometer reads 3.2 volts; measured signal for seawater blank is 0.05 volts. concentration (μg/l) = (Vsample - Vblank) * Scale Factor → 50 = (3.2 - 0.05) * Scale Factor Solving: Scale Factor = (50) / (3.2 - 0.05) = 15.87 μg/l →...

Page 253 Setting Up/Using the CTD in Moored Mode General Delay before sampling sets the amount of time to wait after switching on external voltages before sampling. The ECO-FL requires approximately 3.5 seconds to sample, if set up to take a single measurement for each sample (longer time required for multiple measurements per sample).
