Burrard Inlet Hydrophone Deployed 2020-10-22

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1951 was deployed on 2020-10-22 at Burrard Inlet. Burrard Inlet is a coastal fjord in southwestern British Columbia. 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公司的icListen HF型水听器1951号于2020年10月22日部署于巴拉德湾（Burrard Inlet）。巴拉德湾是不列颠哥伦比亚省西南部的一处沿海峡湾。该设备为水听器（Hydrophone），这类设备集成了换能器（transducer），可将水下声波转换为电信号；其作为声学仪器，能够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、船舶交通活动以及环境噪声。本次部署将该水听器搭载于固定平台之上。本次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，其数据质量保证与衍生数据产品均遵循既定的行业实践规范。
