This graphic shows nitrate concentrations measured
with an In Situ Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer (ISUS) mounted on a SeaSciences
Acrobat undulating, towed vehicle. Nitrate concentrations increase as
the Acrobat passes through an upwelling center. Click
here for more information on the tow. Click

Sensor Lab.
