Chatham Sound Hydrophone Deployed 2016-03-30

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1352 was deployed on 2016-03-30 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 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.2016年3月30日，Ocean Sonics icListen HF型水听器1352（Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1352）被部署于查塔姆海峡（Chatham Sound）。查塔姆海峡是不列颠哥伦比亚省北海岸的一处海峡，坐落于邓达斯岛（Dundas Island）与斯蒂芬斯岛（Stephens Island）之间，毗邻鲁珀特王子港（Prince Rupert）附近的钦西安半岛（Tsimpsean Peninsula）。该设备为水听器（Hydrophone），这类装置搭载换能器（transducer），可将水下声波转换为电信号；作为声学仪器，其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。水听器通常被用于研究海洋哺乳动物的发声行为、船舶交通活动以及环境背景噪声。本次部署采用固定式平台完成。本次部署所获取的数据已完成存档，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，其质量保障流程与衍生数据产品均遵循行业既定规范。
