Portable Multi Hydrophone Array for Field and Laboratory Measurements of Odontocete Acoustic Signals

Abstract

The major goal is to build an array in order to measure the directionality of whistle and clicks produced by odontocetes. Beam patterns and depth profiles of acoustic signals of several species of odontocetes can be collected and analyzed in order to provide better verification of signals collected via passive acoustic monitoring. Additionally, because the array is versatile and portable, other sound sources can be measured and described in various environments.
