Barkley Canyon Mid-West Sediment Trap Deployed 2012-06-02

The McLane Parflux MK78H-21 Sediment Trap (SN 12294-01) was deployed on 2012-06-02 at Barkley Canyon Mid-West. Barkley Canyon Mid-West is a location in Barkley Canyon near a canyon wall. At this location, benthic processes, biodiversity, and sediment dynamics are observed. This device is a Sediment Trap. Sediment traps use a conical-shaped trap to guide settling particles into a set of sample bottles. Separate bottle samples are collected as the instrument is rotated. Sediment traps can be remotely triggered by a user or on a set schedule. Sediment traps record operational conditions including the sample date, time, and temperature during each sampling event. Upon instrument recovery, the samples are analyzed in a lab for particle flux and composition over time. It was deployed on a fixed 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.

麦克莱恩Parflux MK78H-21型沉积物捕集器（Sediment Trap，序列号SN 12294-01）于2012年6月2日部署在巴克利峡谷中西部区域。该区域位于巴克利峡谷内、紧邻峡谷岩壁，为底栖过程、生物多样性与沉积物动力学的观测点位。
本设备为沉积物捕集器，采用锥形收集结构将沉降颗粒导引至一组样品瓶中；随设备旋转，可依次采集各样品瓶内的样本。该设备支持用户远程触发采样，或按照预设计划自动启动采样，并会记录每次采样事件的运行参数，包括采样日期、时间及采样期间的温度。
设备回收后，科研人员将在实验室中分析样本的颗粒通量与随时间变化的组分。本次部署依托固定式平台完成，所产生的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享，所有数据均遵循既定规范完成质量管控，并生成符合标准的衍生数据产品。
