Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) sensors are in situ instrument packages used to measure water depth, pressure, salinity, temperature, and density in the ocean. CTD sensors can be deployed on various water-based platforms such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), buoys, gliders, or research vessels. When deployed on a vessel, CTD sensors are typically attached to a rosette and then lowered to the seafloor to measure water properties. CTD sensors have a typical sampling rate of 30 Hz and can collect precise measurements at specific water depths based on the researcher's needs.

The Multibeam Echo Sounder System (MBES) is an active sonar device that collects bathymetric measurements. MBES works by sending out a sound pulse and detecting objects in the water through the returning echoes. It records the time and angle of each echo to produce a high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) map of the seafloor. High-frequency systems (100-1000 kHz) are usually used in shallow waters and can operate in depths as shallow as 1 meter. Lower-frequency systems (10-70 kHz) are suitable for deeper waters (more than 10 km deep) and can be mounted on large research ships.
