Discovery Passage Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2024-03-19

The AML CTD Metrec X 50153 was deployed on 2024-03-19 at Discovery Passage. Discovery Passage is a channel that is part of Inside Passage. It is located between Vancouver Island and the Discovery Islands and north of the Georgia Strait. 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.AML CTD Metrec X 50153型设备于2024年3月19日在发现水道（Discovery Passage）完成布放。发现水道是内海航道（Inside Passage）的组成部分，坐落于温哥华岛（Vancouver Island）与发现群岛之间、乔治亚海峡（Georgia Strait）北侧。该设备为温盐深仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，CTD），是一套集成海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的观测装置，可通过传感器实测数据衍生得到盐度、声速、水深及海水密度等参数。温盐深仪还可搭载额外的仪器与传感器，例如溶解氧传感器、浊度传感器及荧光计。本次布放采用固定式平台。此次布放所获数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外共享，其质量保障流程及衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
