Barkley Canyon Head Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2016-05-16

The Sea-Bird Microcat SBE37SMP-ODO 9535 was deployed on 2016-05-16 at Barkley Canyon Head. Barkley Canyon Head is located within Barkley Canyon, where benthic processes and sediment dynamics are observed. 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 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.
