A Miniature, High Precision Conductivity and Temperature Sensor System for Ocean Monitoring
A miniature high precision conductivity and temperature (CT) sensor system has been developed for ocean salinity monitoring. The CT sensor is manufactured using micro fabrication technology. A novel seven-electrode conductivity cell has been developed which has no field leakage. This is combined wit...
