Sea-Bird Scientific is a leading provider of high-accuracy oceanographic sensors and systems that support consistent and reliable measurement of critical physical and biogeochemical parameters. Find out more >>
Through its collaboration with OST, the company is highlighting how its multiparameter CTDs, pH and oxygen sensors, optical systems, and moored instrumentation are supporting long-term environmental monitoring, ecosystem modeling, and marine research.
Used extensively by academic institutions, government agencies, and industry partners, Sea-Bird Scientific’s technologies are trusted for monitoring salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, and other parameters in dynamic aquatic environments ranging from coastal estuaries to the deep ocean.
Flexible Sensor Platforms for Diverse Marine Applications
Sea-Bird Scientific’s ECO V2 Series integrates advanced optical sensors that support fluorescence, turbidity, and backscatter measurements.
Designed for standalone use or integration with gliders, floats, and other autonomous systems, ECO V2 instruments offer extended battery lif e, onboard QA/QC, and flexible power compatibility—including support for SBE 37 battery packs. These features make the ECO V2 well-suited for biogeochemical studies, water quality assessments, and coastal ecosystem monitoring.
Key characteristics of Sea-Bird Scientific’s ECO V2 include:
- System-in-a-sensor design to minimize cabling and streamline integration
- Onboard calibration and QA/QC for reliable, high-resolution data
- Anti-fouling protection for extended deployments in challenging environments
- Compatibility with legacy and modern platforms to support a wide user base
Integrated Systems for High-Accuracy Measurements
Sea-Bird Scientific specializes in instruments that deliver synchronized multiparameter measurements from a single robust platform. Solutions such as the HydroCAT-EP V2 and Deep SeapHOx™ V2 combine CTD functionality with advanced sensors for chemical and optical parameters. These systems are engineered for extended deployments and simplified field operation, reducing servicing needs while maximizing data reliability.
The HydroCAT-EP V2 is optimized for long-term moored deployments, delivering high-quality data on conductivity, temperature, pressure, oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, and pH. The Deep SeapHOx™ V2 integrates a solid-state ISFET pH sensor and optical oxygen technology in a deep-rated package suitable for ocean acidification research and carbon cycle studies.
Training, Calibration & Operational Support
To ensure optimal use of its systems, Sea-Bird Scientific offers training and operational support both in-person and through its online Sea-Bird University. These services cover deployment planning, sensor calibration, software workflows, and data processing, helping users to maintain high data standards over the lifetime of their instruments.
