Animating Investigator’s science capabilities: oceanographic research with the CTD
Posted: August 8, 2014 Filed under: Home | Tags: Animation, Australia's Marine National Facility, CTD, Oceanography, RV Investigator 1 CommentWe’ve come up with a fun way to help explain the scientific and engineering capabilities of Australia’s new Marine National Facility research vessel, Investigator, with a series of animations.
One of the key pieces of equipment oceanographers use is called a CTD, which is a device that profiles the conductivity and temperature of the water column at different depths.
This animation explains how this equipment is used on board Investigator, Australia’s new Marine National Facility research vessel.

Great animation.
May all your CTD stations be as calm as the one depicted!
