Multichannel data acquisition; AcousticAbstract
Multichannel data acquisition has been a keystone of 7 ONR sponsored Arctic acoustic research programs conducted jointly by
WHOI and MIT investigators from 1978 through 1989. This report describes the status and capability of the most recent system
developed at WHOI for the purpose of acquiring digital data from up to 64 channels at sampling rates up to 20 kH per channel
with data bandwidth to 5120 Hz. ONR funded the development of and use of this system and its prototye for 2 Arctic field
experiments, PRUDEX 87 and CEAREX 89. It was most recently use during the Heard Island Feasibility Experiment in
February 1991. Of note are the auto-gain ranging capabilty offering a dynamic measurement range of greater than 120 dB, the
continuous storage capability of up to 200,000 samples per second to a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) device, typically
optical disk, and easy expandability with additional identical chanels connected in parallel.

Impact of multichannel river network on the plume dynamics in the Pearl River estuary
Lai, Zhigang; Ma, Ronghua; Gao, Guangyin; Chen, Changsheng; Beardsley, Robert C. (John Wiley & Sons, 2015-08-21)Impacts of the multichannel river network on plume dynamics in the Pearl River estuary were examined using a high-resolution 3-D circulation model. The results showed that during the dry season the plume was a distinct ... -
Along-trench structural variations of the subducting Juan de Fuca Plate from multichannel seismic reflection imaging
Han, Shuoshuo; Carbotte, Suzanne M.; Canales, J. Pablo; Nedimovic, Mladen R.; Carton, Helene (John Wiley & Sons, 2018-04-22)To characterize the along‐strike structural variations of the Juan de Fuca (JdF) Plate as it enters the Cascadia subduction zone, we present prestack time migrated multichannel seismic reflection images of the JdF Plate ...
