Optical Sedimentation Recorder (OSR) for Tracking the Ocean’s Carbon Flux IB-2196

APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY: In appearance and size similar to a compressed gas cylinder, the OSR is a multi-platform instrument that: Precisely measures the ocean’s hourly variations of sedimentation of particulate inorganic and organic carbon material for seasons to years Combines these measurements in real time (transmitting data via satellite), enabling a … [Read more...] about Optical Sedimentation Recorder (OSR) for Tracking the Ocean’s Carbon Flux IB-2196
