Visiting RBR

During our stay in my hometown of Ottawa, I visited RBR, where I worked for 22 years before retiring and sailing away. There were pleasant meetings with my colleagues and a warm welcome in the Calibration lab. I made a presentation “One Year under the Sail for Science”, in which I talked about the results of our year-long voyage. I brought with me our CTD measuring system for recalibration, which the company President Greg Johnson offered to do for me free of charge, and with gratitude handed it over to the Calibration lab. I was glad to participate in this process, having personally calibrated the conductivity measuring channel. “Post-cruise” recalibration of the CTD measuring system is an important part of the quality control of the data collected during the expedition, allowing to estimate the errors of the collected data. This recalibration confirmed the high quality of the metrological characteristics of the RBRconcertoCTD system. Now our CTD measuring system is again ready for measurements in the next expedition season. Thank you, RBR!
