Acoustic Scattering Classification of Zooplankton and Microstructure
Abstract
The long-term goals of this research were to understand the acoustic reverberation properties of zooplankton and microstructure and to apply these models, along with advanced instrumentation, to further our understanding of biological and physical processes in coastal and open ocean areas. The approach involved a combination of laboratory and in situ measurements of scattering by individual zooplankton, development of acoustic scattering models, development of broadband physics-based classification and signal processing techniques, surveying coastal waters with advanced instrumentation, and development and use of methods for discrimination between, and quantification of, the spatial and temporal patterns of biological and physical processes. Numerous papers were published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and many presentations were made at open conferences. The results were also summarized in books and book chapters. Impact on the scientific and navy communities was significant.
