Patricia Bay Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2021-09-10

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6935 was deployed on 2021-09-10 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）公司制造的SeaCAT SBE19plus V2型6935号观测设备，于2021年9月10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）海域内。
该设备为温盐深（Conductivity Temperature Depth，简称CTD）集成观测系统，搭载了用于测量海水电导率、温度与压力的传感器组。
依托传感器的原始测量数据，可进一步推导得到盐度、声速、水深及海水密度等衍生参数。
温盐深系统还可额外搭载溶氧传感器、浊度传感器及荧光计等仪器与传感器。
本次布放作业依托固定式平台开展。
本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数字基础设施面向公众开放共享；所有数据的质量管控及衍生数据产品的生成均严格遵循既定行业规范。
