A series of laboratory intercalibrations of a CTD system were undertaken between 1986 and 1990 as part of cooperativeresearch program between the United States (US) and People's Republic of China (PRC). A comparison of US and PRC calibrationfacility standards is carried out using a NBIS/EG&G Marine Instruments Mark IIIb CTD system as a "quasi-transfer standard."When compared with the quoted accuracy of the calibration facilities, pressure was found to be more accurate and temperatue wasabout as accurate as stated. The conductivity standard differences between facilities are difficult to assess because of the CTDconductivity sensor drift.
