FASOR II: Correlative Biological and Acoustical Studies in the North Pacific Ocean

Abstract

An experimental analysis of acoustic and biological measurements collected during a Forward Area Sonar Research (FASOR) Cruise in the North Pacific Ocean (Feb. through Jul. 1966) is presented. Specifically, the relationship among biological samples, acoustical phenomena of echo groups, 12 kHz scattering layers, and 3 and 12 kHz volume scattering measurements, and water mass characteristics is investigated. Studies delineate eight oceanic regions as distinctive in biological and acoustic character (signature). General results are discussed.
