About a measurement Anonymized data

This system uses machine learning to automatically detect unusual patterns in conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) measurements collected from the ocean. It flags significant physical events in oceanographic data so that scientists can investigate them more closely. The system is used internally by Fisheries and Oceans Canada employees and does not process personal information.
