EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DE0301

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2015-10-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
Halifax Sound Range Trials (DE0301, EK500). Radiated sound measurements of vessels are important for monitoring the noise characteristics of fishing and research vessels. A vessel's radiated noise can have behavioral effects on marine life which in turn can influence abundance and distribution estimates collected by these vessels. During this cruise, acoustic data were collected on the transit to and from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
