Main Endeavour Field Hydrophone Deployed 2023-09-08

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 6324 was deployed on 2023-09-08 at Main Endeavour Field. Main Endeavour Field is a vent field located at Endeavour Ridge, where hydrothermal vent systems are observed. 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

Ocean Sonics icListen HF水听器（Hydrophone）6324于2023年9月8日部署在Main Endeavour热液场（Main Endeavour Field）。Main Endeavour热液场位于Endeavour海脊，是观测到热液喷口系统的区域。该设备为水听器，是一类包含换能器（transducer）的装置，可将水下声波转换为电信号。这类声学仪器能够在数据采集过程中同步处理数据，生成校准后的波形数据，通常用于研究海洋哺乳动物的发声、船舶航行动态及环境噪声。本次部署的水听器安装在固定平台上。此次部署所获数据已完成存档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施开放获取；其质量保证流程及衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
