Horseshoe Bay - Departure Bay Ferry Route Thermosalinograph Deployed 2003-03-14

The Sea-Bird Thermosalinograph 45 (SN 48) was deployed on 2003-03-14 on Horseshoe Bay - Departure Bay Ferry Route. This ferry route goes between Horseshoe Bay terminal in West Vancouver, BC and the Departure Bay terminal, Nanaimo BC. This device is a Thermosalinograph. Thermosalinographs collect data from the sea surface via flow-through systems on vessels. Typically they are mounted near the front of the vessel in order to minimize contamination. Primary variables measured are temperature and conductivity, and other variables like salinity and density are derived. It was deployed on a mobile 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.

海鸟（Sea-Bird）45型温盐仪（Thermosalinograph，序列号SN 48）于2003年3月14日部署于马蹄湾-德帕图湾渡轮航线。该渡轮航线往来于不列颠哥伦比亚省（British Columbia，简称BC）西温哥华的马蹄湾码头与该省纳奈莫的德帕图湾码头之间。本设备为温盐仪，此类仪器通过船舶搭载的流通系统采集海面数据，为最大限度降低污染影响，通常安装于船舶前部区域。其核心测量变量为温度与电导率，盐度、密度等其余变量可通过推导计算得到。该设备搭载于移动平台完成本次部署。本次部署采集的相关数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外提供服务，数据质量控制及衍生数据产品的生成均遵循既定行业规范。
