Analysis of High Spatial, Temporal, and Directional Resolution Recordings of Biological Sounds in the Southern California Bight

Abstract

The long-term goals of this research effort are to detect, localize, and characterize the underwater biological sounds in the Southern California Bight, for the benefit of Navy environmental compliance. The particular focus in this program is on the biological sounds at low to mid frequencies - 5 to 1200 Hz - recorded by an advanced prototype Navy system deployed off the southern California coast in 1999. The efforts in this program also support the Ph.D. research of graduate students in marine bioacoustics and ocean acoustics at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
