Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2010-12-09

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE16plus V2 6536 was deployed on 2010-12-09 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.海鸟（Sea-Bird）SeaCAT SBE16plus V2 6536型设备于2010年12月9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）内。该设备为电导率-温度-深度测量仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），CTD是一套集成多类传感器的仪器舱，可用于测量海水的电导率、温度与压强。基于传感器的原始测量数据，可进一步推导得到盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等衍生参数。CTD设备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。该设备搭载于固定式平台之上。本次部署采集的所有数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外开放；数据质量控制及衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
