[66] Parameter | Advantage | Disadvantage |
---|
Temperature | ① The sensors are intrinsically insulated and resistant to electromagnetic interference. ② Low cost and easy reuse of sensing probes. ③ Suitable for long time, real time, fast, in-situ measurements. ④Networked measurements for different scales of the ocean | ①Complex principles of demodulation equipment in general. ② High precision demodulators are expensive. ③ Lack of accuracy of mature products (less than 0.001 °C) | Salinity | ① The FBG temperature sensor and the F-P refractive index sensor can be used to solve the salinity spike problem by using the co-axial integration of capillary quartz tube nested inside and outside to achieve a true co-point measurement. ② High sensitivity salinity sensors can be made based on different principles | ① Long response time, generally higher than 50 ms (compare with the CTD instrument from Sea Bird, USA). ② The calibration process requires complete replacement of the liquid, which is a complex process, and the accuracy can generally only reach the secondary standard. ③Immature calibration protocols and lack of unified measurement standards | Depth | ① High sensitivity. ② Fast response time | ① Creep problem has not been solved. ② Accuracy is generally slightly lower than that of electronic sensors | Flow rate of turbulence | ① The low cost of the sensing probe can be made expendable for use to fill the gap in the bottom boundary layer turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate measurement data. ② Good long-term stability of the sensor | ① The calibration process is complicated. ② Interferometer is sensitive to noise, and it will be challenging to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for sea trial data |
