SCAMP (Self Contained Autonomous MicroProfiler)

SCAMP is a portable, lightweight microstructure profiler designed to measure extremely small scale (order 1 mm) fluctuations of electrical conductivity, temperature, and chlorophyll concentration in lakes, reservoirs, estuaries and oceans. These data can be used to infer the levels of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy; in-situ fluxes of heat and salt, and the microstructure behavior of these parameters.

Fast Conductivity: High resolution measurements of electrical conductivity of water.


Fast Temperature: Measures rapid temperature fluctuations to accuracies of better than 0.010 degrees C.


Accurate Conductivity & Temperature: Rapid, high resolution measurements of electrical conductivity of water.


Chlorophyll Fluorometer: Vertical profiles of chlorophyll concentration by measuring chlorophyll fluorescence.


PAR Sensor: Vertical profiles of Photosynthetically Active Radiation with Li-Cor LI-192SA sensor.

SCAMP is supplied with a MS Windows software that enables control of the SCAMP and analysis of measurements. The SCAMP software can run under Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
