2022: Final Report on Transport Canada Innovation Centre Project MMP2

Measuring vessel source levels (SL) in a repeatable way is more difficult in shallow than in deep water. This field experiment evaluates several methods and confirms that obtaining repeatable vessel SL estimates in shallow water is possible and that the methods required are only moderately more complex than those codified for deep water.
