Barkley Canyon Upper Slope Hydrophone Deployed 2009-08-25

The Naxys High 02345 Gain Hydrophone (S/N 008) was deployed on 2009-08-25 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 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 profiling 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.Naxys High 02345型增益水听器（序列号S/N 008）于2009年8月25日部署于巴克利峡谷上斜坡（Barkley Canyon Upper Slope）。巴克利峡谷上斜坡是巴克利峡谷内的一处区域，而巴克利峡谷坐落于大陆架上斜坡地带。本装置为水听器（Hydrophone），其内置换能器可将水下声波转换为电信号，属于声学观测仪器，可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、船舶通航噪声与环境背景噪声。该设备部署于剖面观测平台之上。本次部署获取的数据已通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施完成归档并对外开放，其质量保证流程与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
