All about speed of sound in water – what it is, how it’s measured, and why we care

Speed of sound in water

Speed of sound in waterWhat is speed of sound in water and why do we measure it? Sound-speed in water is a quantification of how fast sounds travel in water. The speed of sound in water depends on temperature, salinity, and pressure, and is therefore not uniform throughout different water environments. In the oceans, the speed of sound varies between 1450m/s … Read More about All about speed of sound in water – what it is, how it’s measured, and why we care

A proven standard in CTD sensor technology: RBR’s inductive conductivity cell

profiling CTD in a cage

There are many tools to measure the physical properties of the ocean, yet few are as universal as the CTD. RBR’s inductive conductivity cell has taken its place at the forefront of high-accuracy CTD sensor technology as a proven standard that is robust, reliable, and uses a fraction of the power required for pumped CTDs. Conductivity, temperature, and pressure (depth) … Read More about A proven standard in CTD sensor technology: RBR’s inductive conductivity cell
