The Temperature Chain (T-Chain) produces detailed thermal data that can be used to determine water column stratification, mixing, internal tides, and other information.

The Temperature Chain consists of a single electrical cable with one or more temperature nodes molded at fixed, user-specified, locations. Each node contains a thermistor within an Inconel protective tube and electronics. Data are transmitted up the chain in a digital format. The temperature chain can be connected to LDS, various PME loggers and circuits, and to some types of Campbell data loggers.
