SBE 56 Temperature Logger
(April 2011)
Sea-Bird is introducing the
SBE 56
Temperature Logger, a low-cost,
high-accuracy temperature and time logger that samples at a user-programmed
interval ranging from 0.5 seconds to 9 hours.
SBE 37 Pumped MicroCAT Change Notice (March 2011)
A redesign of the pump, housing, electronics,
and battery pack is being implemented in SBE 37 Pumped MicroCATs (37-IMP,
37-SMP, 37-SIP). The redesign brings significant benefits without increasing the
price. Sea-Bird will ship these instruments starting in April 2011; we will
continue to provide the old design on request, until the end of September 2011.
See the Change Notice
for details.

Satlantic Joins Sea-Bird Electronics and WET Labs in Sea-Bird Ocean Measurement Group (January 5, 2010)

|
The Sea-Bird Ocean Measurement Group and Satlantic Inc. announced today that Satlantic is joining Sea-Bird Electronics and WET Labs in the Sea-Bird Ocean Measurement Group.
“Satlantic’s technology and products are a natural fit and will allow us to better offer complete solutions to our customers’ measurement needs” Sea-Bird’s President Norge Larson stated in making the announcement. “Satlantic joining Sea-Bird and WET Labs is combining the best in biogeochemical and physical oceanographic sensors.”
“We have worked closely with the Satlantic team for many years,” stated Casey Moore, President of WET Labs. “Our common customer base uses optics to measure and understand the ocean. That commonality has grown over the years as we have worked together in developing instruments and long-term monitoring systems. Our clients have seen the fruits of our joint efforts and we look forward to continuing, enhancing, and expanding those relationships.”
"This is a great opportunity," Marlon Lewis, President of Satlantic, said. "This step is the natural progression in our work to provide the best scientific solutions for clients. Joining together will provide immediate benefits for our clients, especially with respect to our ability to deliver comprehensive monitoring systems. I am particularly excited that we are joining together now, as our work with WET Labs and Sea-Bird Electronics to build integrated physical and biogeochemical sensors for a variety of platforms is really taking off."
Day-to-day operations at Satlantic will not change, however Lewis expects that the firms will work more closely on the collaborative efforts in which they are currently engaged. "Our overriding goal – to provide the marine sciences community with the highest quality products available – hasn't changed at all," Lewis said. "We see our companies joining together very much in line with this singular objective."

New
SBE 37 MicroCAT moored CTDs with Integrated Dissolved
Oxygen
(August 2010; link for 37-SIP-IDO added
December 2010)
Sea-Bird is introducing MicroCATs with
Integrated Dissolved Oxygen (IDO), joining more than 8000 MicroCATs deployed
worldwide since 1997. The MicroCAT-IDO measures Temperature, Conductivity,
Pressure (optional), and Dissolved Oxygen in a compact and economical package.
The DO sensor is based on our field-proven SBE 43; Adaptive Pump Control
calculates optimal pumping time for best DO accuracy. The MicroCAT-IDO is
available in each of our MicroCAT families:
37-SMP-IDO,
37-SIP-IDO, and
37-IMP-IDO.
Customer Applications

Please share your knowledge with the oceanographic community by
providing information for posting on the Sea-Bird website -- see

Oil Spill Information Center
(updated August 2010)
We have received a number of inquiries
regarding deploying Sea-Bird CTDs in the Gulf of Mexico for monitoring the oil
spill. The oil will not cause long-term damage to the CTD. If the oil
coats the inside of the conductivity cell and dissolved oxygen sensor membrane,
it can possibly affect the sensor's calibration (and thus affect the measurement and the
data). See our Oil
Spill Information Center for simple measures to minimize the ingestion of oil,
and to reduce the
impact on the calibration.
