China Creek Hydrophone Deployed 2021-09-24

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1333 was deployed on 2021-09-24 at China Creek. China Creek is located in the Alberni Inlet, which is a long, narrow inlet on Vancouver Island. 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 HF 水听器1333于2021年9月24日部署于中国溪（China Creek）。中国溪坐落于阿尔伯尼湾（Alberni Inlet）内，该海湾为温哥华岛上一处狭长型港湾。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实时处理信号，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、船舶航运活动以及环境背景噪声。本次部署采用固定式平台。此次部署采集的相关数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外共享，其质量管控与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
