Quantifying Acoustic Uncertainty Due to Marine Mammals and Fish Near the Shelfbreak Front off Cape Hatteras
Abstract
The long term goals of our work on acoustic uncertainty due to fish and marine mammals are to: 1) understand the nature of low-to-medium frequency (100-2000 Hz) acoustic scattering (specifically reverberation and attenuation) by fish schools and larger marine mammals, 2) advance our acoustic methods of quantitatively imaging fish schools and tracking vocalizing marine mammals, and 3) understand the correlation between the detailed physical oceanography and the biology and acoustics.
