Instrument Series: ZPLSG-A

Instrument Name
Bio-acoustic Sonar (Global)
Science Discipline
Biological
Class Description

The Bio-acoustic Sonar (Global) measures acoustic signals of plankton and zooplankton on global arrays. The sonar emits sound waves into the water column which bounce off organisms back towards the sensor in a phenomenon known as backscatter. The more organisms, the higher the backscatter.
