Hesquiat Peninsula Hydrophone Deployed 2016-07-12

The Song Meter SM2M Hydrophone SN 681614 was deployed on 2016-07-12 at Hesquiat Peninsula. Hesquiat Peninsula is on the west coast of Vancouver Island, south of Nootka Sound. This device is a Hydrophone. Hydrophones are devices containing transducers that convert underwater sound waves into electrical signals. They are acoustic instruments that can process data while they are being collected to produce calibrated waveform data. Hydrophones are typically used to study vocalizations of marine mammals, ship traffic and ambient noise. 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.

型号为Song Meter SM2M的水听器（Hydrophone），序列号681614，于2016年7月12日部署于赫斯基亚特半岛（Hesquiat Peninsula）。该半岛地处温哥华岛西海岸，位于努特卡湾（Nootka Sound）以南。此设备为水听器，其搭载换能器（transducer），可将水下声波转换为电信号；作为声学仪器，它可在数据采集过程中同步完成处理，从而生成经过校准的波形数据。水听器通常被应用于海洋哺乳动物发声行为、船舶交通活动以及环境噪声的相关研究。本次部署采用固定式平台。此次部署所采集的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外提供，其质量保障与衍生数据产品的生成均遵循既定行业规范。
