Strait of Georgia Central Hydrophone Deployed 2023-03-17

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1353 was deployed on 2023-03-17 at Strait of Georgia Central. Strait of Georgia Central is a central area in 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 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

Ocean Sonics icListen HF型水听器（Hydrophone）1353号于2023年3月17日部署于乔治亚海峡中部区域。乔治亚海峡中部区域即乔治亚海峡的中心片区。该设备为水听器，其内置可将水下声波转换为电信号的换能器（Transducer），属于可在数据采集过程中同步处理数据以生成校准后波形数据的声学仪器。水听器通常被用于研究海洋哺乳动物的发声行为、船舶交通状况以及环境背景噪声。本次部署采用固定式平台完成。本批次部署所采集的数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外提供，相关数据的质量保障与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
