Abstract
A four electrode conductivity instrument was developed
to determine variations of conductivity in an ocean
environment at a fixed point. A field experiment was
conducted in Mission Bay, San Diego, California. Results
indicate that the instrument functioned properly and
accurately resolved conductivity microstructure. From
conductivity and associated temperature data, salinity data
was derived which portrays a well mixed salinity structure.
Difficulty with a mismatch of time constants between
conductivity and temperature instruments prevented the
accurate determination of salinity microstructure although
there was evidence that one existed.
