Douglas Channel Hydrophone Deployed 2020-05-27

The Ocean Sonics icListen HF Hydrophone 1332 was deployed on 2020-05-27 at Douglas Channel. Douglas Channel is one of the principal inlets of the British Columbia coast. 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型水听器（Hydrophone）1332于2020年5月27日部署于道格拉斯海峡（Douglas Channel）。道格拉斯海峡是不列颠哥伦比亚省海岸的主要峡湾入海口之一。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经过校准的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、船舶通航情况及环境背景噪声。该设备被部署于一处固定平台之上。本次部署获取的数据已完成存档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 2.0数字基础设施对外公开共享，其质量管控流程及衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规程。
