Main Endeavour Field Sediment Trap Deployed 2022-06-04

The McLane Sediment Trap 78H-21 (S/N 13041-02) was deployed on 2022-06-04 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 Sediment Trap. Sediment traps use a conical-shaped trap to guide settling particles into a set of sample bottles. Separate bottle samples are collected as the instrument is rotated. Sediment traps can be remotely triggered by a user or on a set schedule. Sediment traps record operational conditions including the sample date, time, and temperature during each sampling event. Upon instrument recovery, the samples are analyzed in a lab for particle flux and composition over time. 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.

麦克莱恩沉积物捕集器（McLane Sediment Trap）78H-21（序列号S/N 13041-02）于2022年6月4日部署于主恩迪沃夫喷口场（Main Endeavour Field）。该喷口场位于恩迪沃夫海岭（Endeavour Ridge），区域内分布有热液喷口系统。本设备为沉积物捕集器（Sediment Trap），其通过锥形捕集结构将沉降颗粒物导入一组样品瓶中；随着仪器旋转，可分别采集各样品瓶内的样品。沉积物捕集器可由用户远程触发，或按预设计划自动启动，并记录每次采样事件的运行工况，包括采样日期、时间及采样时的温度。仪器回收后，研究人员将在实验室中分析样品的颗粒物通量与随时间变化的组分。本次部署依托固定平台开展，所获数据已完成归档，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，且遵循既定规范开展质量保证与衍生数据产品生成。
