Barkley Canyon Upper Slope Acoustic Transponder Deployed 2021-08-13

The Sonardyne Fetch 8306-9925 SN 329744-001 was deployed on 2021-08-13 at Barkley Canyon Upper Slope. Upper Slope is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. This device is a Acoustic Transponder. An acoustic transponder is a device that can transmit and receive acoustic signals. When it receives a specific interrogation signal it responds by transmitting a specific reply signal. Transponders can be used for calculating distances or positioning information. 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.

索纳戴恩（Sonardyne）Fetch 8306-9925 序列号SN 329744-001型设备于2021年8月13日部署于巴克利峡谷上斜坡区域。该上斜坡为巴克利峡谷内的一处子区域，而巴克利峡谷坐落于大陆架上斜坡地带。本设备为声学应答器（Acoustic Transponder），此类设备可收发声学信号：当接收到特定询问信号时，其会发射特定应答信号作为响应。声学应答器可用于距离测算或定位信息获取。该设备部署于固定平台之上。本次部署产生的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外提供；相关数据的质量管控及衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范完成。
