  • Abstract
    In this paper, we present the design, development and testing of a salinity sensor system for estuary studies. The sensor was designed keeping size, cost and functionality in mind. The system will be using the LabVIEW program developed by our lab to download and display the data. The microprocessor design of our salinity sensor and a description of our LabVIEW mapping tool are presented below. Our initial laboratory testing shows the salinity sensor system is functional and can be used to display salinity data on a given map.
