Accuracy of conductivity measurements is affected by objects within 15cm of the sensor, especially if they are conductive. Metal deployment frames are a good example. This proximity effect decreases with distance. Calibration procedure uses the predetermined k-factor to take into account static elements, such as other sensors or glider body. |
