Localization tests

Herein lie our efforts to verify that we are localizing underwater sounds accurately.

Verification opportunities

• Summer 2009: localization at the Lime Kiln acoustic observatory
  • July 19: deployed hydrophones 3 and 4 of the north array
  • July 20: secured new intertidal cable protectors

• Winter 2007 analysis: A comparison of localization results from Ishmael (Scott), OrcaLocalizer (Val), AcousticLocalization (Jason), and John Burt's algorithm
  • May 13, 2007: dinghy deployment
    • data directory
  • Sep 04, 2007: dinghy deployment (Jason and Kenna)
    • data directory
    • paper data sheet page 1
    • paper data sheet page 2
  • Sep 10, 2007: dinghy deployment (dinghy anchored in Alec Bay)
  • backup data set: fall 2007 deployment off FHL dock with rowboat source (too much ambient noise?)
  • Google spreadsheet of results

• We could deploy each program off of FHL outer dock at night as a low-noise lab exercise in 2008...
