Abstract

Tests are conducted to determine the comparative performance and accuracy of Sippican Inc.'s eXpendable Conductivity Temperature Depth (XCTD) probes as opposed to CTD sondes. As previously seen in the THETIS-I experiment, errors that occurred due to experimental conditions are segregated from errors caused by the equipment. Results show the relative accuracy of XCTD sensors based on the manufacturer's specifications.
