Yarrow Point Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2016-04-06

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 7091 was deployed on 2016-04-06 at Yarrow Point. Yarrow Point is located in the Saanich Inlet, north of Coles Bay. 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 profiling 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.
