Yarrow Point Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2025-08-06

The Sea-Bird SeaCAT SBE19plus V2 6936 was deployed on 2025-08-06 at Yarrow Point. Yarrow Point is located in the Saanich Inlet, north of Coles Bay. 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 profiling 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.
