Abstract
The initial development and testing of a small in-situ conductivity instrument was reported at OCEAN 73. Since then, extensive operational experience has been obtained with a number of these instruments on moorings and on free and tethered platforms that move vertically and horizontally. This experience is reported here, as well as design improvements, and calibration and maintenance procedures. Also discussed are cell flushing characteristics and the problems of matching conductivity measurements spatially and temporally to temperature measurements.
