Nanaimo Harbour - Descanso Bay Ferry Route - Secondary Conductivity Temperature Depth Deployed 2026-01-03

The AML-3 RTS A31479 was deployed on 2026-01-03 on Nanaimo Harbour - Descanso Bay Ferry Route - Secondary. Secondary node for Nanaimo Harbour - Descanso Bay, while there are two ferries serving this route. 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 mobile 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.
