Description

A reusable instrument that always simultaneously measures conductivity and temperature (for salinity) and pressure (for depth).

This term applies to CTDs that are fixed and do not measure by profiling through the water column. For profiling CTDs, see https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/417.
