Iona Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor Deployed 2013-11-08

The Rotronic Campbell Scientific Temperature RH HC2-S3-L 61081056 was deployed on 2013-11-08 at Iona . The Iona island and beach area is in the western side of Richmond, BC. This device is a Air Temperature and Humidity Sensor. Air temperature and humidity sensors are used to monitor weather conditions above the surface of the water. Air temperature affects wind speed and direction, relative humidity, the rate of evaporation and precipitation in the atmosphere. Air temperature is measured in numerous ways including thermistors, thermocouples and mercury thermometers. Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air and can indicate precipitation, dew or fog. Humidity is typically measured as absolute humidity (the water content of air), relative humidity (measures the current absolute humidity relative to maximum for that temperature), or specific humidity (as a ratio of water vapour content to the total air content based on a mass). 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.

型号为Rotronic Campbell Scientific Temperature RH HC2-S3-L 61081056的设备于2013年11月8日部署于艾奥娜（Iona）区域。艾奥娜岛及海滩区域位于不列颠哥伦比亚省里士满市西侧。该设备为空气温湿度传感器，用于监测水面上方的气象条件。空气温度会影响风速、风向、相对湿度以及大气中的蒸发速率与降水情况。空气温度的测量方式多样，包括热敏电阻（thermistor）、热电偶（thermocouple）与水银温度计（mercury thermometer）等。湿度指空气中水蒸气的总量，可用于指示降水、露水或雾的形成。湿度通常可通过以下三类指标进行测量：绝对湿度（absolute humidity，即空气中的含水量）、相对湿度（relative humidity，即当前绝对湿度相对于该温度下饱和湿度的比值）以及比湿（specific humidity，即以质量为基准的水蒸气含量与总空气含量的占比）。该设备部署于固定平台上。本次部署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数字基础设施对外开放共享，所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量管控与衍生数据产品的生成工作。
