Through research, physical oceanography aims to solve the
numerous problems stated by thermal, optical and dynamical
properties of the oceans. "Instrumentation and Metrology in
Physical Oceanography" describes the means used in oceanography to
determine physical properties of the oceans by medium of "in situ"
measurements. This book explores the theoretical functioning of
sensors and instruments, as well as different practical aspects of
using these tools. The content of this book appeals directly to
technicians or engineers wishing to enhance their knowledge of
instrumentation and application to environment surveillance.
"Instrumentation and Metrology in Physical Oceanography" details
the functioning of sensors and instruments used to assess the
following parameters in oceanography: temperature, conductivity,
pressure, sound velocity, current in magnitude and direction, time
and position with GPS, height of water and tide, waves, optical and
chemical properties (turbidity), dissolved gas (O2, CO2), pH,
nutrients and other dissolved elements. Furthermore, this book also
elaborates on the different means used to obtain measurements at
sea (boats, drifting floats, moorings, undersea platforms,
gliders...) and techniques currently being developed.
