Endeavour North Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2012-06-19

The Sea-Bird Microcat SBE37SIP 5678 was deployed on 2012-06-19 at Endeavour North. This north section of the Endeavour Hydrothermal Vents includes two moorings to monitor the regional circulation. 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.

Sea-Bird Microcat SBE37SIP 5678型仪器于2012年6月19日在恩德华热液喷口区北部完成布放。该恩德华热液喷口区的北部区域设有两套锚系观测装置，用于监测区域环流。本设备为温盐深测量仪（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD），是集成了海水电导率、温度与压力传感器的仪器套件。通过传感器采集的测量数据，可推导出盐度、声速、水深与海水密度等参数。温盐深测量仪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。该仪器布放于固定平台之上。本次布放获取的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外共享，其质量保障与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
