Description
Collection of CTD data by deployment of a CTD rosette over the aft of a research vessel and by lowering it to the sea floor and pulling it back up again. Data will be collected continuously (e.g. temperature, salinity, pressure) or by sample seawater at various depths in one of the sampling bottles making up the rosette.
