Underwater Sound Modeling of Low Energy Geophysical Equipment Operations
September 2013 — California, United States
Client: CSA Ocean Sciences
An acoustic modeling study to estimate source levels, beam configuration, and sound exposure levels from low energy geophysical equipment including single- and multi-beam echosounder, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and boomer. The findings will be used for preliminary assessment of the acoustic impact of geophysical surveys planned in the coastal waters of the State of California.
