Scattering Layers at the Hawaii Institution of Marine Biology – Adrienne Copeland and Giacomo Giorli
Adrienne and Giacomo share their lab work on marine mammal research using acoustics techniques including sound in the ocean, effect of sound on marine life, marine bioacoustics, passive and active acoustics techniques to study marine mammals in the field, foraging of deep diving whales, and deep sea scattering layers.
This is Giacomo. Adrienne and I are schedule to be on your show on Monday. We were told to write you with some topics we would like to chat about. Our lab focuses on marine mammal research using acoustics techniques. Topics we would like to chat about are:
– Sound in the ocean
– Effect of sound on marine life
– marine bioacoustics
– passive and active acoustics techniques to study marine mammals in the field
– studies in foraging of deep diving whales that Adrienne and I are doing.
– Deep sea scattering layer
Fish and other pelagic animals in the deep oceans live at certain depth in layers. These layers of organisms are called scattering layer, because they can be seen with fishfinders. The name “scattering” comes from the fact that fishfinders use sound to locate fish in the water column. Such sounds are backscattered by these layers of organism, hence “scattering layers”.
