Data collected during the krill target strength experiment [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 87, 16–24 (1990)] are examined in the light of a recent zooplankton scattering model where the elongated animals are modeled as deformed finite cylinders [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 86, 691–705 (1989)]. Exercise of the model under assumption of an orientation distribution allows absolute predictions of target strength to be made at each frequency. By requiring that the difference between predicted and measured target strengths be a minimum in a least-squares sense, it is possible to infer the orientation distribution. This useful biological quantity was not obtainable in the previous analysis which involved the sphere scattering model.

Underwater optical measurement of position and orientation using a prepared, passive target
Nickolaisen, Niel R. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1989-09)In order to provide an accurate and efficient method of docking, station keeping, and navigation for the JASON remotely operated vehicle, an optical tracking method is investigated. The method needs to be accurate enough ...
