Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2011-12-10

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE16plus 4996 was deployed on 2011-12-10 at Patricia Bay. Patricia Bay is located in the Saanich Inlet, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. 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.Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE16plus 4996型设备于2011年12月10日在帕特里夏湾（Patricia Bay）完成部署。帕特里夏湾坐落于温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）海域内。该设备为温盐深测量系统（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），是一套集成式仪器舱，搭载用于测量海水电导率、温度与压力的传感器。盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等参数均可基于传感器的实测数据推导得到。CTD系统可额外搭载溶氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计等仪器与传感器。本次部署采用固定式平台。此次采集的数据已完成归档，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，其质量保障流程与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
