General Description

Flowthrough measurement of sea surface temperature (degrees C) and conductivity (S/m) in the Wet Lab. External sensors are connected: remote temperature (T2 degrees C) approximately 0.3m from the sea valve, WETStar Fluorometer, ECO Chl Fluorometer, Cosine Surface PAR. Salinity (PSU) and sound velocity (m/s) data are derived, displayed and output in real-time. 21#####-2205 = Full Serial Number

Description	Located near the main manifold in the Wet Lab, this thermosalinograph measures flowthrough sea surface (from ~5m depth) conductivity ranging from 0-7 S/m.		Located at the Main Manifold, data is derived to produce flowthrough sea surface salinity in PSU.		Located at the main manifold in the Wet Lab, this thermosalinograph measures flowthrough sea surface temperature ranging from -5 to 35 degrees Celsius.	Located approximately 0.3m from the sea valve at the sea chest in the engine room. This remote temperature sensor SBE3S measures flowthrough "sea surface" temperature (sst) ranging from -5 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Jul 13 2024 01:08:00	Clarke, Bonny	issue	SBE21 instantly dropped ~0.5PSU lower than 45 and maintained the offset. SBE21 needs to be cleaned.
Jul 09 2024 20:14:00	Clarke, Bonny	diagnosis	Lots of shells removed from SBE21 chamber. Flow path cleaned with bleach and triton-x. Upon restarting data tracks well with SBE45. (time corrected from repeat log)
