Bullseye Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2020-06-14

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 7035 was deployed on 2020-06-14 at Bullseye. Bullseye is a location at Clayoquot Slope, where gas hydrates, seafloor cold seeps, and hydrate 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.

海鸟（Sea-Bird）公司的SeaCAT SBE19plus V2型7035号设备于2020年6月14日部署在靶心（Bullseye）站位。靶心站位位于克拉夸托斜坡（Clayoquot Slope）区域，该区域观测到天然气水合物、海底冷泉及水合物活动现象。该设备为温盐深（Conductivity Temperature Depth, CTD）剖面仪，是集成海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的观测套件，可通过传感器实测数据反演得到盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等参数。该类剖面仪可搭载额外的观测仪器与传感器，例如溶解氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计。本次部署依托固定式平台开展，获取的观测数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量管控，并生成了标准化衍生数据产品。
