The D-2 Inc Hybrid CTD Sensor is a tool for precise Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth measurements (CTD) in marine applications.
This video explores the continued development and rigorous evaluation of the Hybrid CTD Sensor and how this solution is designed for deployment across various applications, such as climate research, marine resource management, and environmental monitoring. To demonstrate how, the video presents performance assessments, such as detailed analysis from laboratory calibrations and field deployments during research cruises. It also looks at the design innovations and engineering behind the sensor.
Combining electrode and inductive sensing techniques, the sensor offers high-resolution data down to 11,000 meters. Its compact design eliminates the need for pumps, making it ideal for deployment on various platforms, including AUVs, gliders, and moorings.
