Summary

The series is comprised of data collected from active sonar sensors deployed near a seabed turbine.  Utilising a dual sonar and PAM system to detect, classify, and track marine mammals this can be used to form a basis for monitoring the underwater movements of marine mammals around operational tidal turbines.  The data has been processed to detect ...

Processed data

WP2 is designed to develop an active sonar system to monitor marine mammals in close proximity to operational tidal turbines and determine the risks of collision. To inform hardware and software system specifications (e.g., sonar orientation, acoustic clutter from the turbine), a series of pilot sonar data were collected on a prototype turbine. A single Tritech 1200ik sona...
