Underwater Sound Pressure Minima In Bio Acoustic Test Tanks

Download or read book Underwater Sound Pressure Minima in Bio-acoustic Test Tanks written by William C. Cummings and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioacoustic studies of aquatic animals are of increased interest to the sonar community. To economize on costly expeditions, speed up data input, and provide more experimental control, artificial enclosures are often used in work of this nature. The purposes of the work were: determine the salient acoustic characteristics of water-filled tanks typically used in bioacoustic applications, especially factors associated with sound pressure minima (MSPL); evaluate their possible effects on bioacoustic projects involving animal sound production and reception; recommend remedial measures.
