Upper Slope South Sediment Trap Deployed 2012-05-30

The McLane Parflux MK78H-21 Sediment Trap (SN 12294-02) was deployed on 2012-05-30 at Upper Slope South. Upper Slope South is a location within Barkley Canyon, which is located on the upper continental slope. This device is a Sediment Trap. Sediment traps use a conical-shaped trap to guide settling particles into a set of sample bottles. Separate bottle samples are collected as the instrument is rotated. Sediment traps can be remotely triggered by a user or on a set schedule. Sediment traps record operational conditions including the sample date, time, and temperature during each sampling event. Upon instrument recovery, the samples are analyzed in a lab for particle flux and composition over time. 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.麦克莱恩Parflux MK78H-21型沉积物捕集器（Sediment Trap，SN 12294-02）于2012年5月30日部署于上斜坡南区（Upper Slope South）。上斜坡南区位于巴克利峡谷（Barkley Canyon）内，而巴克利峡谷地处大陆斜坡区域。该设备为沉积物捕集器，通过锥形捕集结构将沉降颗粒导入一组采样瓶中，仪器旋转时可依次采集不同采样瓶内的样品。沉积物捕集器支持用户远程触发，或按预设计划自动启动采样。每次采样事件中，设备会记录采样日期、时间及采样时的温度等运行参数。设备回收后，实验室将对采集的样品进行分析，以获取随时间变化的颗粒通量及组分信息。本次部署采用固定式平台。本批次部署产生的数据已完成归档，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，相关数据的质量保障及衍生数据产品均遵循既定行业规范。
