Patricia Bay Transmissometer Deployed 2006-11-08

The SeaTech Transmissometer 0475 was deployed on 2006-11-08 at Patricia Bay. Patricia Bay is located in the Saanich Inlet, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. This device is a Transmissometer. Transmissometers measure the transmission of light through seawater. Parallel rays of light in a spectral band are emitted from a source towards a light detector a set distance away. The fraction of light received is converted into a beam attenuation coefficient. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

SeaTech Transmissometer 0475于2006年11月8日部署在帕特里夏湾（Patricia Bay）。帕特里夏湾位于温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）内。该设备为透射仪（Transmissometer）。透射仪用于测量光在海水中的透射率。光源发射某一光谱波段的平行光线，射向固定距离外的光检测器。接收到的光的比例被转换为光束衰减系数（beam attenuation coefficient）。该设备部署于固定平台上。此次部署的数据已存档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施提供，同时附有符合既定规范的质量保证及衍生数据产品。
