Upper Slope South Hydrophone Deployed 2016-06-16

The Ocean Sonics icListen LF Hydrophone 223 was deployed on 2016-06-16 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 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 icListen LF型水听器223于2016年6月16日部署在南上斜坡（Upper Slope South）区域。南上斜坡是巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内的一处站位，而巴克利峡谷位于大陆架上斜坡地带。该设备为水听器（Hydrophone），水听器是一类搭载换能器的装置，可将水下声波转换为电信号。其属于声学仪器，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、船舶航行噪声以及环境背景噪声。本次部署将该设备搭载于固定平台之上，采集所得数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外开放；相关数据的质量控制及衍生数据产品的生成均遵循既定行业规范。
