Fraser River Delta Lower Slope Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2016-10-08

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6935 was deployed on 2016-10-08 at Fraser River Delta Lower Slope. This site is located on the lower slope of the Fraser River delta, where depth is approximately 150 metres. 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.
