Deep Discoverer Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2015-01-01

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