Tsawwassen - Duke Point Ferry Route Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor Deployed 2012-05-06

The RM Young Temperature RH 41382ZVC TS 19119 was deployed on 2012-05-06 on Tsawwassen - Duke Point Ferry Route. This ferry route goes between Tsawwassen terminal in Vancouver, BC and the Duke Point terminal, Nanaimo 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 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.

RM Young 41382ZVC TS 19119型温湿度传感器于2012年5月6日部署于特瓦森-杜克角渡轮航线（Tsawwassen - Duke Point Ferry Route）。该渡轮航线连接不列颠哥伦比亚省（British Columbia，简称BC）温哥华的特瓦森码头与纳奈莫的杜克角码头。本设备为空气温湿度传感器，用于监测水体上方的气象状况。气温会影响风速、风向、相对湿度、大气蒸发速率与降水过程。气温的测量方式多样，涵盖热敏电阻、热电偶与水银温度计等。湿度指空气中水蒸气的含量，可用于表征降水、露水或雾的生成情况。湿度通常可通过三类指标进行测量：绝对湿度（absolute humidity，即空气中的水汽总含量）、相对湿度（relative humidity，指当前绝对湿度相对于该温度下饱和湿度的比值），以及比湿（specific humidity，即以质量为基准的水汽含量与总空气含量的比值）。该设备部署于移动平台之上。本次部署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数字基础设施对外提供，其质量保障与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
