The DAVID STARR JORDAN maintains a suite of sensors which measure or compute nearly many different variables. Additional sensors are added as specified by the project. The three main types of data are navigation, meteorological and oceanographic. The following is a list of sensors currently integrated into the SCS:
| Navigation | |
|---|---|
| Northstar GPS | DGPS Receiver (Bridge and Radio Room) |
| Magnavox MX200 GPS | DGPS Receiver |
| ODEC Speed Log | Doppler Speed Log |
| Sperry MK-37 Gyro Compass | Ship's Gyro Compass |
| Meteorological Data | |
| Barometer | Digital barometric pressure |
| RM Young Met | |
| Air Temperature | |
| Relative Humidity | |
| Relative Wind Speed / Direction | |
| True Wind Speed / Direction | Calculated from relative wind and ship's heading. |
| Bathymetric Data | |
| Simrad EQ-50, Skipper, Simrad EK500 | Depth Recorder | Oceanographic Data |
| Seabird Thermo-salinograph (TSG) | Hull mounted thermosalinograph (sea surface temperature, conductivity, salinity) |
| RD Instruments ADCP | Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler |
