It is externally powered and continuously pumped, and can operate in both continuous sampling or polled sampling modes. It features an expendable anti-foulant device offering bio-fouling protection, and is supplied with Seasoft V2 Windows software for setup and data processing. The pressure sensor with temperature compensation is available in 4 strain-gauge ranges; 0-100; 100-350; 350-1000; 1000-2000 metres. It measures conductivity from 0-9 S/m at a resolution of 0.00001 S/m, temperature from -5 to +42 degC at a resolution of 0.001 degC, and pressure up to 2000 m (dependant on the range chosen), at a resolution of 0.002 percent of full scale range.", "factory_calibrated": "2024-09-06", "long_name": "Sea-Bird Slocum Glider GPCTD", "make_model": "sea-bird", "maker": "Sea-Bird Scientific", "maker_vocabulary": "https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/B75/current/ORG00226/,https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L35/current/MAN0013/", "model": "Sea-Bird Slocum Glider Payload {GPCTD} CTD", "model_vocabulary": "https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL1492/", "owner": "Rutgers University", "serial_number": "9917", "type": "CTD,salinity sensor,sensor model,water temperature sensor, water pressure sensor", "type_vocabulary": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/130/,http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/350/,http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L19/current/SDNKG17/,http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/,http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/WPS/", "user_calibrated": "" }, "cfg_file": "/home/glideradm/doco/glideradm/configs/instruments/9917-ctd.yml", "nc_var_name": "instrument_ctd", "type": "i4" }, { "attrs": { "calibration_coefficients": "{\"f1\": 9.103373736788e-07, \"f2\": 9.333124824793e-08, \"f3\": -3.584728104675e-10, \"f4\": 6.798524962365e-13, \"f5\": -7.610036486321e-16, \"f6\": 5.244183802791e-19, \"f7\": -2.185931775071e-22, \"f8\": 5.054983318907e-26, \"f9\": -4.977018540451e-30, \"f10\": 0, \"f11\": 0, \"f12\": 0, \"k0\": -1.300818882, \"k2f0\": -0.00088571, \"k2f1\": 3.2695e-09, \"k2f2\": -2.4187e-11, \"k2f3\": 9.8745e-15}", "calibration_date": "2024-06-11", "comment": "pH sensor", "description": "The original design of a deep ISFET (Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor) pH sensor (Deep-Sea DuraFET developed by MBARI, Johnson et al 2016) was modified by Sea-Bird Scientific and integrated into a Slocum Webb glider.
