Definition | The MSS Profiler is designed for simultaneous microstructure and precision measurements of physical parameters in marine water. The instrument includes a microstructure shear sensor, two microstructure temperature sensors, three standard CTD sensors for precision measurements and a sensor to measure the horizontal profiler acceleration. The microstructure sensors are placed at the tip of a slim shaft, about 150 mm in front of the CTD sensors. The shear and horizontal acceleration sensors use a piezoceramic bending beam while the microstructure temperature sensors are resistance thermistors. The CTD sensors are a piezo-resistive pressure sensor, Platinum resistance thermometer and 7-Pole conductivity cell. The MSS was developed jointly in the 1990s by Sea & Sun Technology and ISW Wassermesstechnik. Sea & Sun Technology now support a series of MSS profilers. |
