Barkley Canyon Upper Slope Vertical Profiler Instrument Package Deployed 2009-08-25

The VPS Instrument Package was deployed on 2009-08-25 at Barkley Canyon Upper Slope. Upper Slope is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. This device is a Vertical Profiler Instrument Package. A Vertical Profiler Instrument Packages is a mobile instrument platform that consists of a seafloor base unit and an instrument package that floats on a tethered cable. Numerous instruments can be mounted to monitor oceanic variables, including: salinity, temperature, dissolved gases and nutrients, irradiance, currents, plankton and fish concentrations, and marine mammal movements. It was deployed on a profiling 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.

垂直剖面仪仪器套装（VPS Instrument Package）于2009年8月25日部署于巴克利峡谷上斜坡区域。上斜坡是巴克利峡谷内的一处子区域，该峡谷地处大陆架上斜坡地带。该设备为垂直剖面仪仪器套装（Vertical Profiler Instrument Package），属于移动式仪器平台，由海底基座单元与系缆悬浮的仪器舱组成。可搭载多类仪器以监测各类海洋环境参数，涵盖盐度、温度、溶解气体与营养盐、辐照度、海流、浮游生物与鱼类浓度，以及海洋哺乳动物活动轨迹。该设备部署于剖面观测平台之上。本次部署采集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；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量保证工作，并配套提供衍生数据产品。
