Upper Slope South Sediment Trap Deployed 2012-05-30

The McLane Parflux MK78H-21 Sediment Trap (SN 12294-02) was deployed on 2012-05-30 at Upper Slope South. Upper Slope South is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. 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 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.麦克莱恩（McLane）Parflux MK78H-21型沉积物捕集器（Sediment Trap，序列号SN 12294-02）于2012年5月30日部署于南上斜坡区域（Upper Slope South）。该区域隶属于巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon），而巴克利峡谷坐落于上大陆坡地带。本设备通过锥形捕集结构将沉降颗粒物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试样。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，且会在每次采样过程中记录采样日期、时间及采样时的温度等运行参数。待设备回收后，实验室将对采集的样品进行分析，以测定颗粒物通量及其随时间变化的组分特征。本次部署依托固定式平台开展，所获数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享，所有数据均遵循行业既定规范开展质量控制，并生成配套衍生数据产品。
