Sea trial of Delphinus; a towed array for marine mammal detection:
World-wide a concern exists about the influence of man-made sound on marine life and particularly on marine mammals. One of the acoustic polluters of the world’s oceans is high-power active sonar. An early warning system at the sound source, which is based on passive detection of marine mammals, cou...
