Anomalous Absorption
Abstract
The primary objective of this program is to observe and correlate in a quantitative manner the anomalous frequency dependent acoustic absorption caused by fish and fish larvae with the type and abundance of the fish and larvae population as determined by net hauls. Such a characterization of the absorption will allow tactical sonar performance prediction to draw on fisheries surveys of regional productivity as a data bank for prediction of anomalous absorption in the mobile passive sonar band. Cooperative support has been offered by the National Bureau of Fisheries for the program by way of ship time on the DAVID STARR JORDAN for deploying and recovering the buoy systems and in collecting and supplying net haul data at the buoy stations during the data collection period. The scope of the program includes the design, fabrication and testing of the automatic data collection buoy system in the first year, followed by a two year program of data collection in the southern California current.
