Patricia Bay Fluorometer Turbidity Deployed 2012-08-13

The WET Labs ECO FLNTU 1042 was deployed on 2012-08-13 at Patricia Bay. Patricia Bay is located in the Saanich Inlet, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. This device is a Fluorometer Turbidity. Fluorometer Turbidity instruments measure chlorophyll fluorescence and turbidity within the same volume of seawater. The instrument uses a light emitting diode (LED) to provide an excitation source. The fluoresced light is received by a detector at a particular angle from the LED source, and uses an interference filter to discriminate against scattered excitation light. Turbidity is measured at the same time, by detecting scattered light from a LED, which is positioned at the same angle as the chlorophyll fluorescence. 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.

WET Labs生产的ECO FLNTU 1042设备于2012年8月13日在帕特里夏湾（Patricia Bay）完成部署。帕特里夏湾位于温哥华岛（Vancouver Island）南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）水域内。该设备为荧光浊度测量仪（Fluorometer Turbidity），可在同一海水体积内同步测定叶绿素荧光度与浊度。设备采用发光二极管（light emitting diode, LED）作为激发光源，经激发产生的荧光由与LED光源呈特定夹角的探测器接收，并通过干涉滤光片滤除散射的激发光以排除背景干扰。浊度的同步测定则通过检测另一路LED的散射光完成，该LED的安装角度与叶绿素荧光检测所用角度一致。本次部署搭载于固定平台，采集所得数据已完成归档，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；其数据质控流程与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
