Barkley Canyon Mid-East Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2016-06-15

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6002 was deployed on 2016-06-15 at Barkley Canyon Mid-East. Barkley Canyon Mid-East is a location in Barkley Canyon near a canyon wall. At this location, benthic processes, biodiversity, and sediment dynamics are observed. This device is a Conductivity Temperature Depth. Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) is an instrument package that contains sensors for measuring the conductivity, temperature, and pressure of seawater. Salinity, sound velocity, depth and density are variables that can be derived from sensor measurements. CTDs can carry additional instruments and sensors such as oxygen sensors, turbidity sensors and fluorometers. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

海鸟（Sea-Bird）SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6002型观测设备于2016年6月15日部署于巴克利峡谷中东部（Barkley Canyon Mid-East）。巴克利峡谷中东部是巴克利峡谷内紧邻峡谷壁的一处观测站位，该站位开展了底栖过程、生物多样性及沉积物动力学相关观测。

该设备为温盐深仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth, CTD），是一套集成了海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的观测载荷。通过传感器采集的原始数据，可推导出盐度、声速、水深及海水密度等衍生参数。温盐深仪还可搭载溶解氧传感器、浊度传感器及荧光计等额外仪器与传感器。

本次部署将该设备搭载于固定式观测平台之上。此次任务获取的观测数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享，其质量控制与衍生数据产品生产均遵循既定行业规范。
