Cascadia Seaweed Cormorant Reference Site Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2022-03-07

The AML-6 LGR A60033 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 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.
