Scotian Shelf (between Gully and Shortland Canyons) Hydrophone Deployed 2013-11-15

The Geospectrum M8Q-51 Hydrophone (AMAR194) was deployed on 2013-11-15 at Scotian Shelf (between Gully and Shortland Canyons). This area is between the Gully and Shortland Canyons, on the Scotian Slope offshore of Nova Scotia, Canada. 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.

Geospectrum M8Q-51型水听器（Hydrophone，设备标识AMAR194）于2013年11月15日部署于斯科舍陆架（介于古利峡谷与肖特兰峡谷之间）。该区域坐落于加拿大新斯科舍省近海的斯科舍陆坡，介于古利峡谷与肖特兰峡谷之间。本装置为水听器，内置换能器（transducer），可将水下声波转换为电信号，属于声学仪器，能够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。水听器通常用于研究海洋哺乳动物的发声行为、船舶交通状况及环境背景噪声。本次部署采用固定平台搭载该设备。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 2.0数字基础设施对外开放共享，其质量保障流程与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
