While I do like this kind of DB humour I suggest to stay away from trains like this signaling "psst, train is asleep " 😉 Otherwise, you may end up somewhere in the dark ...

Since you asked, here is one for you ... 😉

Do you remember the date today, Jan 22nd?

Happy #CTDAppreciationDay everyone ...

And many thanks to all the
CTDs, water samplers, #Argo floats and human teams out there at sea, you do fantastic work that is tremendously important.

Ok, my quest for the unknown sampler bottle in the back of our storage room ended up in a dead end. Apologies for the cliffhanger.

But what about this beauty ? Probably an old sound-based currentmeter. No real background info. 1990s ? Probably not FSI, check the head. Any thoughts?

How to bring seawater from the deeper ocean into the scientific labs ...

Rarely seen together at the same time:
