Here Carmen Greto, an RV Sikuliaq technician, monitors the deployment of a conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) rosette.  The CTD measures salinity, temperature, and pressure at multiple depths along with taking water samples.  These measurements provide a baseline comparison for the newly deployed Papa instruments.
