Nutrient sensors are chemical sensors that can sequentially measure five nutrient elements dissolved in water: ammonium salts (NH4-N), nitrites (NO2-N), nitrates (NO3-N), phosphates (PO4-P), and silicates (SiO3-Si). They can be installed on monitoring platforms such as buoys, shore stations, and survey vessels, and are suitable for water bodies such as oceans, estuaries, rivers, and lakes.
