Fig. 3. Results from the transmission loss measurements and acoustic ranging
calibration, using an omni-directional calibrated sound source emitting
harbour porpoise clicks at a known range from 3 m depth. (A) Received level
(dB re 1 µPa pp) as a function of measured range for the 4-hydrophone
array. The line is a transmission loss model consisting of spherical spreading
and absorption. (B) RMS error (see text) in acoustic localization as a
function of the measured range for the 4-hydrophone array and the 3-hydrophone
array. (C) The maximum variation in the transmission loss due to ranging
variation as a function of measured range for the 4-hydrophone array and the
3-hydrophone array.
