Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2011-10-02

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE16plus V2 6536 was deployed on 2011-10-02 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 SBE16plus V2 6536型设备于2011年10月2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（Vancouver Island）南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）内。该设备为导电率-温度-深度测量仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），是集成海水导电率、温度与压力传感器的成套探测仪器。依托其传感器的实测数据，可衍生得到盐度、声速、深度与海水密度等核心参数。CTD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。本次布放的设备搭载于固定式平台之上，此次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，其质量管控与衍生数据产品均遵循既定的行业操作规范。
