  1. Broadband acoustic characterization of the deep scattering layer

    Zhuang, ZhaozhongMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2025

    Sound-scattering layers are found throughout the global ocean at depths between 200 and 1000 meters, referred to as the deep scattering layers (DSLs). DSLs are biological in nature, primarily formed by organisms such as zooplankton and mesopelagic fish, many of which undertake diel vertical …

  2. Movements and oceanographic associations of large pelagic fishes in the North Atlantic Ocean

    Braun, Camrin D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2018

    … due to long-distance migrations and regular deep diving. Despite the dominance of oceanographic features, such as fronts and eddies, in the open ocean, the biophysical interactions occurring at the oceanic (sub)mesoscale (< 100 km) remain poorly understood. This leads to a paucity of …

  3. Ocean acoustic applications of an autonomous underwater vehicle at the New England Shelfbreak

    Kukshtel, NatalieMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2026

    … greatly influences acoustic propagation and scattering. The work in this dissertation follows an interdisciplinary approach to explore the multifaceted connections between acoustics and different branches of oceanography. An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) was used to study physical, …

  4. Movement and behavior of ocean sunfish, Mola mola, in the northwest Atlantic

    Potter, Inga F

    … searching for vertically migrating prey of the deep scattering layer (DSL). The shift in vertical behavior was especially apparent when fish entered the Gulf Stream. A diel pattern was observed in vertical behavior. Analysis of aerial survey data showed high numbers of animals in the northeast …
