ESME Workbench Enhancements

Abstract

The goal of the ESME Workbench project is to create a general purpose simulation tool for use by those who wish to study the effects of sound in the marine environment. The major objectives of the project are to: 1) Develop a sophisticated user interface that allows the user to visualize the environmental parameters used for acoustic propagation calculations as well as the results of these calculations and then to visualize the location of sound sources and animals during scenario simulations. 2) Incorporate acoustic propagation algorithms for simulating both low-frequency and high-frequency sound sources 3) Provide a detailed log of exposures for each animal organized by source and to provide basic summary statistics for each simulation.
