UnderwayCTD (UCTDâ„¢)
The Oceanscience UnderwayCTD provides research-quality CTD profiles while underway at up to 20kts.
The unique freefall CTD probe, manufactured by Sea-Bird Electronics, affords vertical profiles to a maximum depth of 1250m while underway, with stationary casts possible down to 1500m. The probe is tethered to the ship by up to 2km of high strength line, with a unique deployment winch and re-spooling mechanism that allows the probe to be recovered and relaunched time after time without ever needing to stop or slow down.
