British Columbia North Coast Drifter Buoy Deployed 2016-08-16

The Institute of Ocean Sciences Drifter SN 491 was deployed on 2016-08-16 on British Columbia North Coast. These are drifter deployments that were deployed at a latitude greater than 50 degrees along the British Columbia coast. This device is a Drifter Buoy. Drifter buoys float on the sea surface and are used to investigate ocean currents and other parameters like temperature and salinity. It was deployed on a mobile 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.

海洋科学研究所（Institute of Ocean Sciences）编号为SN 491的漂流浮标，于2016年8月16日在不列颠哥伦比亚省北海岸完成布设。本次涉及的所有漂流浮标部署作业均沿不列颠哥伦比亚省海岸开展，所有部署点位的纬度均高于50度。该设备为漂流浮标（Drifter Buoy），其漂浮于海面，用于探测海流及温度、盐度等海洋参数。该浮标依托移动平台完成布设。本次部署获取的数据集已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量管控，并衍生出配套数据产品。
