Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2010-02-20

The RBR XR-420 CTD 15159 was deployed on 2010-02-20 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 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

RBR XR-420型电导率温度深度仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth）15159号设备于2010年2月20日在帕特里夏湾完成布放。帕特里夏湾地处温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾海域。该设备为CTD，是一套集成海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的仪器组件。盐度、声速、水深与海水密度均可通过传感器采集的实测数据推导得到。CTD还可搭载氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计等额外仪器与传感器。该设备布放于固定式平台之上。此次布放获取的全部数据已完成归档，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，其质量保障流程与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
