| − | A related topic are '''Inline''' measurements: Sensors or instruments are situated in a flow-through system, e.g., on board a ship, in which water is pumped from the outside. This technique is applied in the [[Ships of Opportunity and Ferries as Instrument Carriers|FerryBox]]. The advantages of '''Inline''' measurements are:
| |
| − | * The sensors are well protected and therefore have a longer lifetime
| |
| − | * The calibration of the sensors is more stable and the calibration procedure is easier
| |
| − | * [[Biofouling|Biofouling]] can easily prevented by applying chemical methods (cleaning).
