Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2010-12-12

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE16plus 4996 was deployed on 2010-12-12 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 4996型设备于2010年12月12日在帕特里夏湾（Patricia Bay）完成布放。帕特里夏湾坐落于温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）内。该设备为温盐深测量仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），此类仪器为集成多传感器的舱体装置，可用于测量海水的电导率、温度与压力。通过传感器采集的原始数据，可推导得到盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等衍生参数。该类测量仪还可搭载额外的仪器与传感器，例如溶氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计。本次布放搭载于固定式平台。此次布放获取的数据集已完成归档，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，其质量管控与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
