The development of a reliable miniature molded transducer for the
Williams/Koehler acoustic current meter, BASS (Benthic Acoustic Stress Sensor)
ls documented. The procedures developed and components selected for manufacturing
the transducer assemblies are documented as well as some of those
rejected.
Engineering tests performed to ensure reliable performance in the field
are outlined and discussed as well.
The transducers are now routinely molded with great success (over 1200
operational transducer months to date) and commercial sources are being investigated.

Real-time reporting of baleen whale passive acoustic detections from ocean gliders
(Acoustical Society of America, 2013-08)In the past decade, much progress has been made in real-time passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammal occurrence and distribution from autonomous platforms (e.g., gliders, floats, buoys), but current systems focus ... -
A sound projector for acoustic tomography and global ocean monitoring
(IEEE, 2003-07-09)Long-range underwater acoustic systems, such as those used in ocean acoustic tomography, require low-frequency signals covering a broad frequency band. To meet this requirement, a novel design based on of a tunable ... -
Sonar-induced pressure fields in a post-mortem common dolphin
(Acoustical Society of America, 2012-02)Potential physical effects of sonar transmissions on marine mammals were investigated by measuring pressure fields induced in a 119-kg, 211-cm-long, young adult male common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) cadaver. The specimen ...
