Pole-mounted CT/ADCP-System
Goal	The pole-mounted CT/ADCP-system is developed to measure parameters as temperature, salinity and optical backscatter of the seasurface and currents down to 30 meters during the cruises with the NIOZ ships R.V. Navicula and R.V. Stern.
Description	A downward pointing pole can be mounted beside the ship. This pole has a wing-profile for drag-reduction. Attached to this pole are a Teledyne RDI “Rio Grande” ADCP, a pumped CT-set (consisting of a SBE3plus, a SBE4 and a SBE5P) and a Seapoint OBS. The CT-set and the OBS are powered and logged using a SBE31 MultiChannel Counter and a computer with Seasave for Windows.
Remarks	In 2010 a major upgrade is scheduled.
