Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2021-03-29

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6812 was deployed on 2021-03-29 at Patricia Bay. Patricia Bay is located in the Saanich Inlet, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6812设备于2021年3月29日在帕特里夏湾（Patricia Bay）部署。帕特里夏湾位于温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）内。该设备为温盐深仪。温盐深仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，CTD）是一种集成多传感器的仪器组件，用于测量海水的电导率、温度与压力。盐度、声速、深度及密度等变量可通过传感器测量数据推导得出。CTD可搭载额外仪器与传感器，如氧气传感器、浊度传感器及荧光计。该设备部署于固定平台之上。此次部署产生的数据已通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施存档并开放获取，其质量保证与衍生数据产品均遵循既定规范。
