Main Endeavour Field Hydrophone Deployed 2020-09-09

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1950 was deployed on 2020-09-09 at Main Endeavour Field. Main Endeavour Field is a vent field located at Endeavour Ridge, where hydrothermal vent systems are observed. 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.

Ocean Sonics公司的icListen HF型水听器1950于2020年9月9日部署于主恩达沃热液喷口区。该喷口区位于恩达沃洋中脊（Endeavour Ridge），区内发育有热液喷口系统。本次部署使用的设备为水听器（Hydrophone）：水听器是一类内置换能器的声学装置，可将水下声波转换为电信号；其作为声学观测仪器，能够在数据采集过程中同步完成处理，生成经过校准的波形数据。水听器通常被用于开展海洋哺乳动物发声、船舶航行噪声及环境背景噪声相关研究。该水听器被部署于固定式观测平台。本次部署采集的数据集已完成归档，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；所有数据均遵循既定规范开展质量管控，并提供标准衍生数据产品。
