Acoustic Source Tow System
Abstract
"Proposed is the fabrication of a two-channel, acoustic source tow system for transmissions in the 30-2000 Hz frequency band. The system will consist of two acoustic source transducers with overlapping coverage of this band, a tow frame and wing for mounting the transducers and providing tow stability, monitor hydrophones for measuring the in-water transmission levels, pressure sensors for monitoring source depth, and an electro-mechanical tow cable for deploying the source frame/wing. The acoustic source tow system will add an important new capability for the collection of low/mid-frequency acoustic propagation data for acoustic signal processing and seafloor geoacoustic inversion research.A complete budget for the instrumentation is attached. Although the components are off-the-shelf, the entire system is not available commercially and will be fabricated by Marine Physical Laboratory personnel."
