  • Abstract
    Preliminary results are presented for sensors with good long-term stability allowing salinity determination from measurements of electrical conductivity and temperature. A chain of these sensors, multiplexed onto a single electronic driving board within the recorder unit, allows time series measurement of salinity/temperature profiles to within \\pm 0.02\\deg permil and \\pm 0.01\\deg C over a period of a month. The length of the chain is not limited by any electrical considerations.
