Patricia Bay Hydrophone Deployed 2018-10-05

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1349 was deployed on 2018-10-05 at Patricia Bay. Patricia Bay is located in the Saanich Inlet, on the southern tip of 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

Ocean Sonics公司的icListen HF型水听器（Hydrophone）1349于2018年10月5日部署于帕特里克湾（Patricia Bay）。帕特里克湾地处温哥华岛南端的萨尼奇湾（Saanich Inlet）水域内。该水听器搭载有换能器（transducer），可将水下声波转换为电信号，属于专业声学观测设备，能够在数据采集过程中同步处理数据，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研究、船舶航行噪声监测以及环境背景噪声分析等领域。本次部署采用固定式观测平台作为搭载载体。本次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 3.0数字基础设施对外开放；其数据质量管控与衍生数据产品的生成均严格遵循既定行业规范。
