  1. Experiment (Lab): Lab-based measurements of salinity - To evaluate instrument accuracy and precision.

  2. Experiment (Lab): Lab-based measurements of salinity to evaluate the thermal inertia of an instrument

  3. Experiment (Field): Make field-based measurements of salinity variability somewhere along the Elbe.

Student learning outcomes:

  • Understanding measurement principles for salinity.

  • Designing experiments to test specific hypotheses related to measuring salinity.

  • Using instruments: Setup, programming, protocols and downloading data.

  • Data processing: For electronic CTD instruments, using manufacturer’s software and programming in Python.
