Best Practices for the SeaFET™ V2: Optimizing pH Data Quality.

Abstract

The SeaFET™ V2 is an upgrade to the Satlantic SeaFET™ pH sensor. It incorporates the same housing and DuraFET as the original SeaFET™ with improved electronics and new operating characteristics for enhanced stability and reliability in long-term deployments. As with the original SeaFET™, an SBE 37-SMP-ODO CTD can be integrated with the SeaFET™ V2 to operate as a SeapHOx™ V2, adding a pumped anti-foul flow path and CTD data corrections to pH data. Accordingly, the Deep SeapHOx™ V2 utilizes the seam Deep-Sea DuraFET® sensor as the original, and has the same upgrades as the shallow versions. This guide outlines best practices for using, deploying, and interfacing with the SeaFET™ V2.
