Chatham Sound Hydrophone Deployed 2019-08-29

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1352 was deployed on 2019-08-29 at Chatham Sound. Chatham Sound is a sound on the North Coast of British Columbia, located between Dundas and Stephens Islands and the Tsimpsean Peninsula near Prince Rupert. 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）1352 于2019年8月29日部署于查塔姆海峡（Chatham Sound）。查塔姆海峡位于不列颠哥伦比亚省北海岸，地处邓达斯岛、斯蒂芬斯岛与鲁珀特王子港附近的钦西安半岛之间。该设备即为水听器，其搭载有换能器，可将水下声波转换为电信号。作为声学仪器，水听器可在数据采集过程中同步处理数据，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、船舶通航活动以及环境背景噪声。本次部署将设备搭载于固定平台之上，采集所得数据已完成归档，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，其质量保障与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范流程。
