Hercules Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2017-06-06

The Sea-Bird SBE 49 FastCAT SN 0211 was deployed on 2017-06-06 on Hercules. This Remotely Operated Vehicle is operated by Ocean Exploration Trust. 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 mobile 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.
