Hydrophones for Acoustic Exploration of the Extreme Depths of the Ocean

Abstract

The objective of the deep ambient noise project is to develop and deploy a broadband (0.05 - 60 kHz), multi-sensor system capable of monitoring sound to the deepest depths (11,000 km) in the ocean. The system will return depth profiles of the noise spectral level and vertical coherence.
