Abstract
Development of a portable self contained electronic meter for on the spot determination of temperature and salinity is described. Instant and remote measurements of temperature and salinity of sea and estuarine waters in the range of 25-30 C and 30-35 C for temperature with an accuracy 0.05C and 0.37o/oo and 31-37o/oo for salinity with an accuracy of 0.2o/oo and 0.05o/oo respectively are possible with the instrument. The temperature compensations of the salinity measurements are done manually with the help of temperature charts. The temperature and salinity measurements can be fed to continuous recorders
