Many mesopelagic organisms are aggregated into one or more layers in the ocean, referred to as deep scattering layers (DSLs) due to the high acoustic reflectance observed using sonar systems. The animals comprising the DSL are important to global marine food webs, fisheries, conservation, and biogeochemistry (Robinson et al., 2010), yet remain ...1. Introduction. Deep Scattering Layers (DSLs) were first noted in records of high frequency sonars during WWII, as a layer of enhanced acoustical backscatter, and since those early observations DSLs have been found throughout deep sea regions of the world ocean (Irigoien et al., 2014).Initial observations revealed that the depths and …Herring, 2002). Unexpected layers of sound scattering were encountered in midwater at a couple hundred meters below the surface that ascended to the surface at dusk and descended near dawn, and which separated into different layers. These were later recognized as deep scattering layers (DSLs) of biological organisms (Johnson, 1977).Recent estimates suggest that a majority of global fish biomass inhabits this zone 1,2 and that these animals play an important role in mediating carbon flux to the deep ocean. 3 The majority of this biomass is associated with deep scattering layers detected in shipboard echosounder data.Human skin has three layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Each layer has a unique role in protecting the body and maintaining the functions that are more than skin deep. Of the three layers, only the epidermis is typically ever seen.19 thg 3, 2021 ...

Image courtesy of NOAA Fisheries Alaska Fisheries Science Center.High Frequency Acoustics: Deep Scattering Layer. Diffuse echoes from mid-depths in the ocean were observed on the relatively high-frequency sonars of WWII. In order to understand what might be causing these echoes, a series of experiments were conducted in 1942. A sonar transmitted 24 kHz signals downward in deep water.Feb 25, 2022 · Small fish occur at very low abundances in the 200-600 m deep Atlantic water layer of the Amundsen Basin as shown by the unique hydroacoustic dataset collected by the EFICA Consortium that showed a “deep scattering layer” (DSL) consisting of zooplanktion and fish along a 3170 km long track of the MOSAiC expedition. Layer depths at 12 kHz ranged from 325 to 550 yd and layer thickness (at 6 dB down) varied from 80 to 300 yd. Layers were less well defined at 3.5 kHz and maximum scattering strengths in the layer are less than at 12 kHz by from 10 to 30 dB. In general, layers are thicker and extend to greater depths than at 12 kHz.Here, x is the input signal and φ is the low-pass filter used for stability to deformations. ψ 1 and ψ 2 are wavelet filter banks corresponding to 1st and 2nd layer of scattering transform.The Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist Martin Johnson proposed an explanation: The deep scattering layer could be marine animals migrating up to the surface.Small fish occur at very low abundances in the 200-600 m deep Atlantic water layer of the Amundsen Basin as shown by the unique hydroacoustic dataset collected by the EFICA Consortium that showed ...The deep scattering layer (DSL) is a ubiquitous acoustic signature found across all oceans and arguably the dominant feature structuring the pelagic open ocean ecosystem.

They contain concentrations of commercially valuable fish and crustaceans, and are prey fields for deep-diving predators (king penguins, elephant seals and mantas). DSLs can be detected by echo sounders as they scatter and reflect sound.SLs were permanent features with two main layers, shallow scattering layers (SSLs) and deep scattering layers (DSLs). Over seamount plateaus, SSLs aggregated close to the seafloor during the day and in slightly shallower waters at night. Backscatter intensity on plateaus varied little between day and night and was consistently higher than …The deep scattering layer (DSL) is a ubiquitous acoustic signature found across all oceans and arguably the dominant feature structuring the pelagic open ocean ecosystem.
