Principles and methods of broadband technologies: application to fisheries acoustics

11-16 December 2019
Onboard G.O. Sars, Bergen, Norway

Applications to this course have now closed. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance shortly.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Objective

The course provides participants with the knowledge and skills to interpret and process acoustic broadband data with confidence and to be well-prepared for moving broadband technology forward into routine acoustic research and survey applications in fisheries science.

The course will cover both the theoretical background and how to apply the theory to actual fisheries acoustics through case studies and exercises with synthetic, previously recorded, and real-time data collected during the course.

By the end of the course, the participants should be able to:

  • understand the fundamental differences between narrow-band and broadband acoustic systems
  • interpret broadband echograms correctly
  • understand the spatial and temporal characteristics of the broadband/wideband systems
  • understand the techniques of spectral analysis such as pulse compression processing
  • process broadband raw and pulse-compressed data
  • take advantage of broadband functionality of LSSS

Level

This is an advanced course in fisheries acoustics. The participants are assumed to have moderate (college level) knowledge in algebra, calculus, and experience with narrow-band echosounders, such as Simrad EK60.

Target audience

Intended participants are scientists and engineers scrutinizing acoustic survey data, scientists and students using acoustics.

Participants will need the usual seaman's health certificate for Institute of Marine Reserach (IMR)​ ships.
