Endeavour Sediment Trap Deployed 2023-06-29

The McLane Parflux MK78H-21 Sediment Trap (SN 12294-01) was deployed on 2023-06-29 at Endeavour. Endeavour is located near the northern end of the Juan de Fuca Ridge, west of the coast of Washington and southwest of Vancouver Island. 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Parflux MK78H-21型沉积物捕集器（Sediment Trap，序列号：SN 12294-01）于2023年6月29日部署于恩德弗尔站位（Endeavour）。恩德弗尔站位位于胡安·德富卡海脊（Juan de Fuca Ridge）北端附近，地处华盛顿州海岸以西、温哥华岛西南侧海域。该设备为沉积物捕集器，其通过锥形捕集结构将沉降颗粒引导至一组样品瓶中；随着设备旋转，可依次收集各采样瓶内的样品。沉积物捕集器支持用户远程触发采样，或按照预设计划自动启动采样流程。每次采样事件期间，设备会记录采样日期、时间及采样时的温度等运行参数。设备回收后，实验室将对采集的样品进行分析，以测定随时间变化的颗粒通量与组分特征。本次部署采用固定式平台。本次部署产生的相关数据已完成归档，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；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量管控，并生成符合标准的衍生数据产品。
