Its embedded firmware controls all of the instrument's functions. It is designed for profiling to depths of up to 100m at 5 Hz. It uses a six electrode flow-through conductivity cell with zero external field coupled with a rapid response thermistor (<5Hz) to attain high measurement accuracies. The instrument does not require a pump and is hydrodynamically designed to free fall rate of 1 m/s. Processing was done using the CastAway CTD data processing system which included the following steps: - Pressure correction to remove ambient atmospheric pressure. - Removal of records obtained while the system was stationary. - De-spiking of conductivity data to remove erratic measurements near the water surface that can be caused by air bubbles trapped in the conductivity flow cell. - Bin-averaging with 0.3db bins with linear interpolation used to fill empty bins or the nearest available value for surface or bottom bins. - Combination of downcast and upcast data using a weighted average based on fall velocity. - Derivation of specific conductance, salinity, sound speed, density and depth for each pressure bin. The data were converted to IOS Header format.
