Volume Scattering Strength Versus Depth and Frequency in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Western Mediterranean Sea.
Abstract
A deep, upward-looking, broadband, narrow-beam hydrophone array, in combination with explosive charges that were fired somewhat deeper, was used to measure the dependence of volume-scattering strength on both depth and frequency. Although this dependence varied greatly among the stations occupied, the spectra of the scattering strength of the whole water column were rather similar. Further, although diurnal migration produced striking changes in the distributions, the day/night differences in the column scattering-strength spectra were quite modest.
