Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2019-09-12

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 4998 was deployed on 2019-09-12 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）公司的SeaCAT SBE19plus V2型4998号观测设备于2019年9月12日在帕特里夏湾（Patricia Bay）完成布放。帕特里夏湾地处温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）海域。该设备为温盐深测量仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），此类仪器为集成式观测载荷，搭载用于测量海水电导率、温度与压力的传感器。依托传感器的原始测量数据，可反演得到盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等衍生参数。温盐深测量仪还可额外搭载溶解氧传感器、浊度传感器与荧光计等设备。本次布放搭载载体为固定式平台。此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 2.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循行业成熟规范开展质量管控，同时可获取标准化的衍生数据产品。
