Horseshoe Bay - Departure Bay Ferry Route Thermosalinograph Deployed 2004-09-18

The Sea-Bird Thermosalinograph 45 (SN 46) was deployed on 2004-09-18 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 2.0 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 46）于2004年9月18日部署于马蹄湾-出发湾渡轮航线。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纳奈莫的出发湾码头之间。该设备为温盐仪，通过船舶搭载的流通系统采集海面数据，通常安装于船舶前部以减少船体自身污染对测量的干扰。其核心测量变量为温度与电导率，盐度、密度等其余变量则通过推导计算得出。该设备搭载于移动平台运行。本次部署获取的数据集已通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施完成归档并对外开放，其质量控制流程与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定实践标准。
