Development of an Autonomous Broadband Acoustic Scattering System for Remote Characterization of Zooplankton

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to develop autonomous, high-frequency broadband acoustic scattering techniques, appropriate for use on a variety of platforms, including towed, profiled, moored, and mobile platforms that enable the remote characterization of zooplankton distributions on ecologically relevant spatial and temporal scales
