Whales in Space: Experiencing Aquatic Animals in Their Natural Place with the Hydroambiphone ...
Recording the undersea three-dimensional bioacoustic sound field in real-time promises major benefits to marine behavior studies. We describe a novel hydrophone array -- the hydroambiphone (HAP) -- that adapts ambisonic spatial-audio theory to sound propagation in ocean waters to realize many of the...
