Abstract

The design of specialized conductivity sensor for temperature-profiling drifting buoys is described. The conductance-measuring method based on four electrode measurement is implemented. The first prototype with LFS155 primary sensor was evaluated. The design of CTD-module integrated in drifters termoline is proposed.
