Bullseye Hydrophone Deployed 2014-05-24

The Ocean Sonics icListen LF Hydrophone 223 was deployed on 2014-05-24 at Bullseye. Bullseye is a location at Clayoquot Slope, where gas hydrates, seafloor cold seeps, and hydrate dynamics 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 LF型水听器223于2014年5月24日布放在靶区（Bullseye）。该靶区位于克莱科特斜坡（Clayoquot Slope），此处已观测到天然气水合物、海底冷泉及水合物动力学现象。本设备为水听器（Hydrophone），是一类搭载换能器（transducer）的声学仪器，可将水下声波转换为电信号，并在数据采集过程中实时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、船舶通航噪声及环境背景噪声。该设备布设于固定平台之上，本次布放获取的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外共享；数据质量管控及衍生数据产品的生成均遵循既定行业规范。
