Barkley Canyon Upper Slope Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2009-08-25

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus 6000 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 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 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.

海鸟电子（Sea-Bird）生产的SeaCAT SBE19plus 6000型设备于2009年8月25日部署在巴克利峡谷上斜坡（Barkley Canyon Upper Slope）站位。巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）地处大陆架上斜坡区域，其上斜坡为该峡谷内的具体部署位置。该设备为电导-温度-深度剖面仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），此类集成式仪器舱搭载有可测量海水电导率、温度与压力的传感器。基于传感器的原始测量数据，可推算得到盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等参数。该类CTD剖面仪可额外搭载溶氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计等仪器与传感器。本次部署的设备搭载于剖面观测平台之上。本次部署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；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量控制，并配套提供推算得到的衍生数据产品。
