Chatham Sound Hydrophone Deployed 2018-10-26

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1354 was deployed on 2018-10-26 at Chatham Sound. Chatham Sound is a sound on the North Coast of British Columbia, located between Dundas and Stephens Islands and the Tsimpsean Peninsula near Prince Rupert. 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公司生产的icListen HF型水听器（Hydrophone）1354于2018年10月26日布设于查塔姆湾。查塔姆湾地处不列颠哥伦比亚省北海岸，位于邓达斯岛、斯蒂芬斯岛与鲁珀特王子港附近的钦西安半岛之间。水听器是一类内置换能器（transducer）的设备，可将水下声波转换为电信号。作为声学仪器，其可在数据采集过程中同步完成处理，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。本次布设采用固定式平台。此次布设获取的数据已完成归档，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，其质量保障与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
