Instrument: Sea-Bird SBE 39 temperature recorder

A high-accuracy temperature recorder (pressure optional) with internal battery and non-volatile memory for deployment at depths up to 10500 meters. It is intended for moorings or other long-term, fixed-site applications, as well as shorter-term deployments on nets, towed vehicles, or ROVs. Calibration coefficients stored in EEPROM allow the SBE 39 to transmit data in engineering units. Typical drift is less than 0.002C per year. The SBE 39 communicates directly with a computer via a standard RA-232 interface. For more information see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/documents/nodb/108627/
