The WQM incorporates WET Labs’ fluorometer-turbidity and
Seabird’s CTD sensors, providing temperature, salinity, depth,
dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity, and
backscattering data. The accuracy and precision of the sensors
can track changes in the cleanest marine systems, while the
stability, endurance, and active anti-fouling features assure
quality data in highly productive, particulate-laden coastal
waters. The single integrated package is designed for ease
of use and service. the WQM provides a superior solution for
today’s demanding ocean research and observing applications.
