Forward to Creation of System of Underwater Monitoring of Marine Mammals (SUMMM) in the Eastern Arctic.
Abstract
In the second volume of the report the first results related to creation of hardware and software for the acoustical system of marine mammals (MM) monitoring (MM) are presented. The main object of the system (further SUMMM - System of Underwater Monitoring of Marine Mammals - is used as the abbreviation for such a system) consists in the analysis of adverse influence of human activity on MM. Although suggested methods of SUMMM creation can be used for wide spectrum of situations. Here main emphasis is made on the adverse influence of powerful low-frequency sound radiation in connection with the realization of ATOC (Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate) project in the Eastern Arctic. A primary objective of the investigation at given preliminary stage had been development of general principles of the SUMMM construction. It should be noted that the SUMMM creation is complicated scientific and engineering problem though.
