DMON Portable Range Engineering
Abstract
The focus of this project will continue development of methods for monitoring marine mammals and behavior using acoustic methods. T,he continuing program objectives are to create (1) a low-cost portable acoustic range that will allow detection and localization aft,er the moorings are collected, and optionally, in real-time by transmitting precisely time-stamped detections via an integrated acou,stic modem, and (2) a highly flexible moored autonomous recording system. The components that comprise the DMON Portable Range (DPR,) and the autonomous recording system have already been developed, including the DMON, WHOI Micro-Modem, an atomic clock, plus an op,tional small buoy capable of receiving the real-time detection data from the DMON. Previous integration of these components into a b,asic capability has been demonstrated in Cape Cod Bay. The system takes advantage of detection techniques developed under earlier pr,ograms (Baumgartner, 2011 and 2013).
