Cascadia Seaweed Cormorant Reference Site Turbidity Meter Deployed 2022-03-07

The Turner Cyclops-7F Fluorometer (S/N 900280) was deployed on 2022-03-07 at Cascadia Seaweed Cormorant Reference Site. The Cormorant Farm Reference Site in Clayoquot Sound is used to obtain ambient measurements as a comparison to the nearby seaweed farm. This device is a Turbidity Meter. Turbidity meters are sensors that detect scattered light from suspended particles in water. The amount of scattered light that reaches the detector is proportional to the turbidity or particle concentration in the water. 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.
