AUV-based acoustic observations of the distribution and patchiness of pelagic scattering layers during midnight sun†

Abstract An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) carrying 614 kHz RDI acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCPs) was deployed at four locations over the West Spitsbergen outer shelf in July 2010. The backscatter signal recorded by the ADCPs was extracted and analysed to investigate the vertical distr...
