Introduction to oceanographic sensor technology

On-demand webinar.

Discover the science and technology behind common oceanographic sensors for measuring temperature, pressure, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, PAR, fluorescence, backscatter, and turbidity. 

What you will learn

We provided this session at OSM 2022 as part of our user workshop. The feedback was so good, we decided to offer it as a webinar. In this session, we will present the basic operating principles of a selection of RBR sensors.

  • Review a variety of common oceanographic sensors and the parameters they help to measure or derive. 

  • Learn the basic operating principles behind each sensor.

  • Understand the factors that can affect sensor performance.

Jon Taylor, RBR Sensor Manager

Jon heads up the RBR sensor research and development team. He started with RBR in 2016 with the technical support and service team, before moving on to join R&D in 2020. This path has given him valuable insight into a variety of sensor applications, and the ability to describe sensor technology in the context of real-world deployments. Jon holds a bachelor's degree in molecular biology and chemical and biological engineering, along with a master's degree in chemical and biological engineering.
