Barkley Canyon Upper Slope Acoustic Transponder Deployed 2021-08-13

The Sonardyne Fetch 8306-9925 SN 329744-001 was deployed on 2021-08-13 at Barkley Canyon Upper Slope. Upper Slope is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. This device is a Acoustic Transponder. An acoustic transponder is a device that can transmit and receive acoustic signals. When it receives a specific interrogation signal it responds by transmitting a specific reply signal. Transponders can be used for calculating distances or positioning information. 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.

该索纳戴恩（Sonardyne）Fetch 8306-9925型（序列号329744-001）声学应答器（Acoustic Transponder）于2021年8月13日部署于巴克利峡谷上斜坡（Barkley Canyon Upper Slope）区域。上斜坡区域隶属于巴克利峡谷，而巴克利峡谷地处大陆架上斜坡带。声学应答器是一类可收发声学信号的设备，当其接收到特定询问信号时，会发射特定应答信号以完成响应；此类应答器可用于距离计算或定位信息获取。本设备部署于固定平台之上，本次部署产生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数字基础设施对外开放，其质量管控与衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
