CTD

Fig. 2. Kazumi Shibata, a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute technician, directs the winch operator during deployment of the CTD (a rosette instrument that measures conductivity, temperature, and depth). The rosette contains water sampling bottles (the long gray bottles) and a physical/chemical sensor array, which is mounted horizontally along the bottom of the frame).
