Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2006-02-23

The Falmouth Scientific NXIC CTD 1622 was deployed on 2006-02-23 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

法尔茅斯科学（Falmouth Scientific）NXIC型CTD 1622于2006年2月23日在帕特里夏湾完成布放。帕特里夏湾坐落于温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇水道内。该设备为温盐深仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），是集成海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的观测套件。依托其传感器的实测数据，可衍生出盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等环境参数。CTD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。本次布放依托固定式平台（fixed platform）完成。本批次布放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 3.0数字基础设施对外开放共享，其数据质量保证与衍生数据产品的生成均遵循既定行业规范。
