GEOTRACES traction winch (Kley France) with 8000m kevlar cable (17 mm) with internal signal cables
12
Advantages Titan system 3-4 fold more efficient station time than single GO-FLO on hydrowire no carrying GO-FLO samplers much faster turnaround sub-sampling system on shipboard always in clean room stations CTD data for physics now building new prototype samplers –18 Liter volume, –pharmaceutical industry quality plastics
