Barkley Canyon Upper Slope Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2012-05-29

The Sea-Bird Microcat SBE37SIP 5693 was deployed on 2012-05-29 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 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.

海鸟（Sea-Bird）Microcat SBE37SIP 5693型观测设备于2012年5月29日部署于巴克利峡谷上斜坡（Barkley Canyon Upper Slope）。巴克利峡谷上斜坡是位于大陆架上斜坡区域的巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内的一处观测站位。该设备为电导率温度深度仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），是集成了海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的观测载荷。依托传感器的实测数据，可衍生得到盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等环境变量。CTD可搭载额外的观测仪器与传感器，例如溶解氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计。本次部署将设备搭载于固定式平台之上。本次采集的数据已完成归档，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；数据处理遵循既定规范开展了质量保证工作，并生成了衍生数据产品。
