Sensors

This review is pertinent for the following sensors with which we had experience with in-line systems:

Transmissometers:

  • WETLabs CStar
  • Sequoia LISST
  • WETLabs ac-9 and ac-s.

Spectrophotometers:

  • WETLabs ac-9 and ac-s.

Backscattering meters:

  • WETLabs Eco series.
  • HobiLabs Hydroscat sensors.

Fluorometers:

  • WETLabs WETStar Chlorophyll/CDOM fluorometers
  • WETLabs ALFA spectrofluorometer
  • Seapoint Chlorophyll/CDOM fluorometers (with cap for flowthrough applications).

It is assumed that a SeaBird Scientific thermo-salinograph (SBE 45) or equivalent is part of the in-line system, as well as a GPS.
