Description
In this series of photo's we show the deployment of a CTD in pictures. The CTD is prepared and setup during the night, after which it is waiting on the deck for deployment, lifted from the deck and put overboard. The CTD casts can be a few hours up to days. In this case it got recovered in the middle of the night again, 24 hours after its setup.
