Abstract
CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) instruments were introduced to the oceanography community in the late 1960's. Since then, the electronic measurement of conductivity, temperature and pressure provided by the CTD has become the backbone of hydrography measurements in the ocean. CTDs typically consist of an array of sensors that measure the frequency or voltage response that represents changes in an ocean parameter. Beyond the typical conductivity and temperature sensors, CTDs may also have attached sensors for light transmission, fluorescence, oxygen content, optical backscatter and turbidity. For details regarding the use of CTDs, see the attached training annex.

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development::14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
