CTDSense

Ocean CTD sensor for continuous conductivity, temperature, pressure, salinity, depth, density, and sound-speed monitoring.

CTDSense is a marine CTD instrument for real-time, continuous ocean observation. The source product page highlights stable conductivity sensing, anti-corrosion and anti-biofouling construction, and dynamic correction algorithms for dependable field measurements.

CTDSense ocean CTD sensor

Core Ocean-State Data

Measures conductivity, temperature, and pressure, then supports derived salinity, depth, density, and sound speed.

Fouling-Resistant Build

The source product page calls out anti-corrosion and anti-biofouling process controls for long-duration marine use.

Fast Dynamic Response

Conductivity, temperature, and pressure channels are listed with millisecond-scale response characteristics for profiling and moored observation.

Flexible Deployment

Suitable for profiling, moorings, floats, gliders, and integrated observation platforms.

Stable Conductivity Sensing

Built around high-stability conductivity sensing technology highlighted on the source page.

Dynamic CTD Correction

Applies CTD dynamic-characteristic correction to improve field-quality measurements.

Pressure Range

Source spec snapshot lists a standard 0 to 1000 dbar pressure channel.

Temperature Range

Measures from -3 to 50 C with fine resolution for ocean and lake deployments.

Chemistry Expansion

Source spec snapshot also shows optional pH, dissolved oxygen, ORP, and auxiliary analog inputs.

Deep-Water Heritage

The source page describes a wider CTD family with direct-reading, self-recording, cable, float, glider, and deep-water variants.

Overview

The source product page describes this CTD instrument as a foundational ocean-observation sensor capable of continuously measuring temperature, conductivity, and pressure in the marine environment. From those core signals, the system supports derived salinity, depth, density, and sound-speed outputs used in oceanographic analysis.

The same page also positions the product within a broader CTD deployment family that spans direct-reading and self-recording systems, cable-transmission CTDs, inductive CTD chains, Argo-float payloads, glider payloads, and anti-pollution near-surface conductivity sensing. For the Zenocean catalog, CTDSense is presented as the configurable CTD node within that family.
