China Creek Hydrophone Deployed 2021-09-24

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1333 was deployed on 2021-09-24 at China Creek. China Creek is located in the Alberni Inlet, which is a long, narrow inlet on Vancouver Island. 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.

Ocean Sonics公司的icListen HF型水听器（hydrophone）1333号于2021年9月24日部署于奇纳溪（China Creek）。奇纳溪地处阿尔伯尼水道（Alberni Inlet），该水道为温哥华岛（Vancouver Island）上一条狭长的海湾水道。该设备为水听器，是一类集成换能器（transducer）的声学仪器，可将水下声波转换为电信号；其能够在数据采集过程中同步完成处理，以生成经过校准的波形数据。水听器通常被用于研究海洋哺乳动物的发声行为、船舶交通活动以及环境噪声。该设备被部署于固定式平台上，采集得到的数据已完成归档，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；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量保证工作，并生成符合标准的衍生数据产品。
