CPR
Definition
- The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) is a plankton sampling instrument designed to be towed from merchant ships on their normal sailing. As a near-surface monitor system the CPR is efficient because it can survey large areas during a cruise. Data from different cruises is comparable because of the same route. The first prototype of this instrument was used by Alister Hardy in the Antarctic already in 1925-27. After that, the CPR has been used regularly for instance in the North Sea and North Atlantic.
