Strait of Georgia East Hydrophone Deployed 2015-09-14

The JASCO M36 Hydrophone 2403 was deployed on 2015-09-14 at Strait of Georgia East. Strait of Georgia East refers to an eastern area of the Strait of Georgia. 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.JASCO M36水听器2403于2015年9月14日部署于乔治亚海峡东区（Strait of Georgia East）。乔治亚海峡东区指乔治亚海峡的东部海域。该设备为水听器（Hydrophone），其搭载换能器（transducer），可将水下声波转换为电信号，属于可在数据采集过程中同步处理以生成校准后波形数据的声学仪器。水听器通常用于研究海洋哺乳动物的发声行为、船舶交通噪声及环境背景噪声。本次部署将该设备固定于固定式平台之上。此次部署采集的数据已完成存档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外公开共享，其质量管控流程及衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
