Seirios Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2015-01-01

The Sea-Bird SBE 9plus on ROV Seirios was deployed on 2015-01-01 on Seirios. This Remotely Operated Vehicle is operated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER). It is a support vehicle to the ROV Deep Discoverer. 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.
