Iona Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor Deployed 2022-02-16

The Rotronic Campbell Scientific Temperature RH HC2A-S3 20496162 was deployed on 2022-02-16 at Iona. The Iona island and beach area is in the western side of Richmond, BC. This device is a Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor. Air temperature and humidity sensors are used to monitor weather conditions above the surface of the water. Air temperature affects wind speed and direction, relative humidity, the rate of evaporation and precipitation in the atmosphere. Air temperature is measured in numerous ways including thermistors, thermocouples and mercury thermometers. Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air and can indicate precipitation, dew or fog. Humidity is typically measured as absolute humidity (the water content of air), relative humidity (measures the current absolute humidity relative to maximum for that temperature), or specific humidity (as a ratio of water vapour content to the total air content based on a mass). 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.

型号为HC2A-S3、序列号为20496162的Rotronic Campbell Scientific空气温湿度传感器，于2022年2月16日部署于艾奥纳区域。艾奥纳岛及海滩区域位于不列颠哥伦比亚省里士满市的西侧。该设备为空气温湿度传感器（Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor），用于监测水面上方的气象状况。气温会对风速、风向、相对湿度、大气蒸发速率与降水过程产生影响。气温的测量方式多样，涵盖热敏电阻、热电偶及水银温度计等。湿度指空气中水蒸气的含量，可用于表征降水、露水或雾的形成。湿度通常可通过三种方式进行表征：绝对湿度（即空气中的水汽总含量）、相对湿度（当前实际水汽含量与该温度下饱和水汽含量的比值），以及比湿（以质量为基准的水汽含量与总空气含量的比值）。该设备部署于固定平台之上。本次部署所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 3.0数字基础设施对外公开提供，其数据质量管控与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
