Conductivity, temperature and depth profiler (CTD)

So here we sit here at 1000 local time, an hour behind you in the UK. Its a gently rolling sea with blue sea, blue skies (have you looked at the webcam?) and a very pleasant morning. We have carried out the regular 2 CTD’s to 300m pre-dawn and today is one of the 2 deep CTD’s that we will sample in the Southern Atlantic gyre region down to the ocean floor, a few thousand metres below the sea surface.
