How Sonar Affects Sea Life
Sonar isn't a good thing to use in the ocean because it kills sea life and affects them and the
scientists in the water, if something goes wrong. Also, sonar is experimenting with bats and
experimenting on animals could go wrong. Sonar is used underwater to find different areas and it
makes it easier for scientists and people who are exploring the different regions underwater. It
creates a loud ping which shoots out and bounces off of different things. There are also two different
types one is Passive Sonar and the other is Active Sonar. Passive Sonar just detects for loud noises
while Active shoots out a ping.
Sonar affects sea life because if researchers are using active sonar the loud ping can make the
animals mostly whales go deaf and then they can't hear for signals from other whales and they could
die. Another way it affects them is because some scientists and researchers use Sonar to find mines
these mines are a danger to the ocean. When they are doing this they place metal scarps and other
garbage along the sea floor. If an animal were to eat one of the metal scarps they could die because
they wouldn't be able to digest it. According to National Geographic animals have been eating
plastic, if ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They use their hearing to find food and other things. Scientists think that one day we will be able to
use sonar like a bat uses its hearing to find new things. It will seem as though "we are seeing but
without using our eyes" according to discovery education. In the video Super Sonar it shows a bat
being locked in a cage which isn't that big. Bats are free animals and should not be put in cages or
experimented on. According to the article What is it Like to be a Bat? the philosopher Thomas
Nagel came to the conclusion that it wasn't possible for a human being to imagine what it was like
to be a bat. This means we don't know how the bat is feeling being stuck in that

Sonar: Comparing Dolphins And Whales
The Sonar is a system for the identification of things under water and for measuring the water's
depth by releasing sound pulses and finding or measuring their return after being detected.Sonar is
using an echo. When an animal or machine makes sounds it sends sound waves into the air around
it. Those waves bounce off objects, and some of them reflect back to the object that made the sound
. It's the sound waves you hear when you scream and it echos back.The range of low frequency
sonar is pretty cool. Dolphins and whales can tell the difference between things as small as BB's
from 50 feet away, and they use sonar much more than sight to find their food, families, and
direction. The sonar is being tested by the military. They are seeing how

Active Denial System Paper
Active Denial System The Active Denial System (ADS) is an electromagnetic, directed energy,
non–lethal weapon designed by the US military and built by Raytheon (Cumming, 2010). The ADS
works by producing 95GHz electromagnetic radiation that is focused in a beam at a target
(Wikipedia, 2014). These 3.2mm electromagnetic waves work on the same principal as a microwave
oven. The waves excite water and fat molecules instantly heating them through dielectric heating
(Wikipedia, 2014). Due to the extremely high frequency of these waves, the energy from them is
absorbed in within the first 0.4mm of skin, meaning they do not affect vital organs, blood vessels or
nerve endings (Wikipedia, 2014). Due to these attributes, and the results of numerous studies, in
which the worst injury inflicted by the ADS were pea sized blisters, with a 1 in 1000 chance of this

This becomes a major problem when there is a large amount of water in the environment. In a
situation with low humidity, the ADS has an effective operating range in excess of 500m (Danyalov,
2014). The ADS though is adversely affected by weather conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, sleet,
and dust storms. The rain, fog, snow and sleet all reduce the range and effectiveness of the beam by
absorbing the radiation it produces. The dust storm reduces the range of the ADS, not by absorbing
the radiation, but by deflecting and dispersing it. Both of these situations mean that the full power of
the ray is no longer reaching its intended target, "which may moderate the ADS's sensation to warm
and comfortable"(Cumming, 2010). Along with aspects of the environment blocking the device, it
can be countered by very reflective material such as aluminium foil (Cumming, 2010). Along with
aluminium foil, a defence of sprinklers that produce a fine mist, similar to fire defence systems

Sonar Essay
Even more recently, advancements in SONAR have led to the creation of multibeam SONAR and
side scan SONAR. Multibeam SONAR emits and receives sound over a large area, and allow
oceanographers to create the most accurate model a seafloor, a Holographic survey. The time
between when the SONAR beams are sent out and when they return is measured to model the ocean
floor. While effective for deeper rocky bottoms multibeam SONAR does not function well in
shallow flat bottoms. Thus side scan SONAR is used to model these flat bottoms, despite its
detractor of not being able to determine depth (Burgera, 2016). In conjunction with the SONAR
models, GPS is used to accurately construct large scale models of the ocean floor (Langer, 1991).

Changes in temperature can show the change in surface flow which affects the behavior of aquatic
life and weather, or the occurrence of an upwelling (Lathram, 1986). Changes in color can indicate
underwater seismic activity, pollution, or even algal blooms. Not only have satellites improved how
researchers obtain information about the ocean but they have also allowed for more accurate maps
of the ocean to be created.
One example of oceanographic research conducted with the aid of a satellite was the creation of the
Sea–Viewing Wide Field–of–View Sensor or SeaWIFS, by company Orbital Sciences (Pinkerton,
2003). The goal of the SeaWIFS mission was to determine the amount of chlorophyll produced by
marine phytoplankton in our oceans. Through the use of sensors that can record different optical
bands of light reflected from the oceans. Heat mapps where then constructed using this data, and all
testing was done in conjunction with NASA. While plankton are just microscopic plants they could
have enormous implications for the future of our planet, affecting everything from climate change to
the fish that we eat. Research was even conducted in confirming the accuracy of the SeaWIFS
sensors and determined that with upgraded software, the data collected was accurate (Pinkerton,
2003). SeaWIFS exceeded its original mission of a 5 year study of Earth's chlorophyll and sent back

Loch Ness Monster Outline
Guiding question: Have you ever wondered if one of the famous cryptids is real?
Thesis: The Loch Ness Monster is real.
––––––––––––––
Introduction
Stories of the Loch Ness monster have been told for centuries. The earliest reported sighting was in
500 a.d. by an Irish missionary named St. Columba. While in his adventures of spreading
Christianity, he saved a man from a monster by making the sign of the cross and ordering the beast
to leave. The Loch Ness Monster is not just from medieval mythology though, numerous people
have claimed they've seen it too. Describing it as 30 feet in length with a long neck and flipper in
the middle of its body. The best evidence for Nessies would be the Dinsdale film, many sonar
results, and underwater photographs obtained at the same time as strong sonar echoes.

How Does Bat Sonar Work?
1.0 Introduction Weather plays an important role in our daily lives. When we watch weather
forecast, we can know whether it will rain next few days. But how do we predict weather
conditions? It is a device called meteorological radar. Meteorological radar can provide information
like the size, intensity, and height of the target. Actually, besides meteorological radar, there are
many kinds of helpful radar without which people will live a totally different life. What contributes
to the invention of radar? The answer is bat sonar. Bats can emit a high–frequency sound that people
cannot hear, and receive the returning waves to "see" the surroundings. However, how does bat

produce echolocation sounds by tongue clicking. Basically, bats using larynxes produce sounds in
the way just like other mammalian. When they exhale, the air from their lungs vibrate the vocal
chords and produce sound waves. Some bats open their mouths while flying, producing sounds
through their mouths. Scientists also think some bats have special–structure nose that can collect
sounds so they may produce sounds from their noses. Other details were also found related to

Sound consists of oscillating waves of compression and decompression of a transmitting medium
i.e. air or water, traveling at a fixed velocity (Støylen, 2015). The frequency of sound waves refers
to the number oscillations per second, with one cycle per second is considered a unit of 1 hertz
(Henderson, 2014). Sound waves oscillating above 20,000 Hz are categorised as ultrasound waves.
As sound waves are a transverse wave forms this means the only variant is its frequency and
wavelength despite the location in the spectrum. The wavelength is defined as the distance travelled
by sound in one cycle, or the distance between two identical points in the wave cycle i.e. the
distance from each oscillation (Cura Rodríguez, Seguí and Nicolau, 2012). In regards to wave forms
the wavelength shows very little significance as it is inversely proportional to frequency.
In reference to the structure a waveform, the significance of the wavelength is one of the main
factors affecting the resolution of an ultrasound image, this is because smaller wavelengths (higher
frequency) are absorbed more by soft tissue. This variable absorption rate with structures of
different impedances allows distinctive structures to be clearly represented. In echocardiography, the
wavelengths are often manipulated in order to view deeper structures within the patient but
compromising with resolution. In principle of

How Dolphins Communicate– Dolphins travel together in pods. Even though they are travelling in
pods it doesn't necessarily mean they are swimming side by side, so they have developed
communication tactics to communicate between one other. Dolphins use sound communication,
since sounds travels 4.5 to 5 times faster in the water. Over time dolphins have developed a very

Baleen whales are born with plates that have bristles attached to the plates (Whalefacts.org 2015).
Baleen whales will communicate using long very low frequency sounds. Humpback whales
communicate using melodic whale songs. These low sounds can be heard many miles away and
allow whales to communicate long distances. Which is helpful in keeping track of the other whales
when on long trips, looking for a mate, or to let others know of their claimed territory
(Whalefacts.org 2015).
Technology used to determine communication– Divers have carried computers underwater to record
the sounds of the marine mammals communicating. The computer will emit a light that picks up the
frequencies to will make a path to detect which way they are coming from. The diver will also carry
a device which is called a Twiddler that can choose and make a sound in response (New Scientist

The Dangers Encountered by the Orcinus Orca
The dangers encountered by the Orcinus orca
"Extinction means having no living representatives, having died out" (Dictionary.Com). We're
currently experiencing the worst spate of species die–offs since the loss of the dinosaurs 65 million
years ago" (Center for Biological Diversity). Among all the species, there are still animals that have
a hope of living the next generation. Despite being threatened they are not endangered. The orca
whale, commonly known as the killer whale is a prime example. To date approximately 50,000 orca
populations thrive though out the world. Previously the world wide estimate was double that, at
100,000 (Kirby). It has been found in resent studies that the orca population is decreasing due to
many hardships they face such as toxins, captivity, and depletion of food.
To date the killer whale is considered in the group of most successful predator. Not only throughout
the world, but definably in the oceanic world; Pods, the family of orca, range from 20 to 200

Sound is vital to marine mammals' communication and livelihood, so the disturbance of the sound
in their habitat has varying effects. The impact of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals,
specifically cetaceans, can be seen in various experiments and observations concerning the sounds
produced by shipping, construction, and sonars. All of which reveal potential and consequential
behavioral and physiological effects, which include acoustic masking, change in foraging behavior,
and mass strandings. Species studied include harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), ... Show more

It is important that we continue to research known harmful anthropogenic sounds and their effects
on cetaceans to limit further damage, and to research other sources of noise due to humans and their
potential effects to prevent future harm. Through research, it is shown that various noise pollution
caused by humans can have detrimental effects on cetaceans such as harbor porpoises, bottlenose
dolphins, killer whales, and Cuvier's beaked whales. Shipping, windfarm construction, and sonar
can cause temporary or permanent hearing threshold changes, which can result in decreased
foraging ability and communication ability. Shipping has been seen to decrease foraging time and
cause acoustic masking. Sonar can cause death due to strandings and lesions. These all add up to
show that, overall, noise pollution by humans has a serious effect on the quality of life for cetaceans.
It is also important to recognize that absence of a detected reaction does not mean that there is no
impact on these cetaceans. It is possible that noise pollution can cause physiological and
psychological responses without any external symptoms we can detect. It may be important to
develop methods to observe these more subtle reactions to noise pollution that may impact
cetacean's way of life. It is important that humans realize the full extent of their effect on marine life
and create measures to prevent more harm. Noise pollution's effect on cetaceans affect not only

The Body Found By Sid Bennett
Many kids grow up watching Disney movies, and young girls who idolize Ariel from The Little
Mermaid hope that mermaids might be real. In the mockumentary Mermaids: The Body Found,
directed by Sid Bennett, the idea of mermaids is explored when the actors proclaim that mermaids
were found among beached whales due to Navy Sonar tests (IMDB par 2). Bennett mixes fact with
fiction in an attempt to get people to relate to the beached whales. He makes a mockumentary that is
believable to many due to how closely it resembles a real documentary, complete with actors posing
as credible scientists. Despite having no evidence, people want to believe that myths such as
mermaids do exist. Bennett's purpose of the film is to convince people to care about how the Sonar
tests affect whales by trying to make it seem as if mermaids are going through the same thing.
However, he is unsuccessful because he fails to make a connection with the audience, does not have
enough credible information on mermaids, and does not focus enough on the whales themselves.
During the mockumentary, an anecdote is told about a mermaid who sacrifices himself to Megladon,
a huge, prehistoric shark, for his family so they can get away and stay safe (Mermaids n.p.). This is
an attempt to make the audience feel empathetic towards the mermaids and to relate to them. It is

One of the major reasons aerial bombings were so effective was due to the angle of sight aircrafts
had, they could see exactly where the U–Boat was versus the guessing surface vessels had to do to
know how far away a U–Boat was. Another reason aerial bombings were so effective was due to the
fact that aircraft were quicker than surface vessels and did not have to come so close to the U–Boat
and be noticed to drop their depth charges. These aerial bombings were very effective in destroying
U–Boats, they were essentially depth charges dropped from an aircraft and worked basically the
same way. These aerial bombs were not dropped on the U–Boat rather right behind or in front of it
as to allow the shock wave to destroy the U–Boat not the impact (Lansford). The utilization of
aircraft was on of the major ways the US and its allies combatted the U–Boat during World War I.
During World War II technological advancements mainly included radar and sonar. Radar and Sonar

What It Does It Exist?
In our history as a species, humankind has always been curious about itself. We have entire fields of
study dedicated to the understanding of what it means to be a human. One of the ways we explore
our species and the societies we build is through the discovery and careful recording of those people
and societies that have come before us. However, as early research destroyed more than it
conserved, new techniques were necessary to keep as much of our history intact as possible. This
led to new ways of conducting these investigations, preserving as much of the materials as possible.
Two such advances are ground penetrating radar (GPR) and side–scan sonar (SSS). Ground
penetrating radar was first suggested not long after radar itself was patented, but was not widely
available to the general public until the mid–20th century. The way it works is simple:
electromagnetic radiation that exists on the radio band of frequency is sent into the earth, and
different densities of materials reflect these waves back in different ways. A highly skilled operator
is absolutely essential in the use of GPR, as these waves are difficult to read and interpret. However,
with these returned waves understood properly, much information can be discovered without ever
compromising the site. Side–scan sonar is a similar application for an entirely different kind of

For wireless underwater communication, there are several means such as radio waves, optical waves
and acoustics.
Radio waves:
Radio wave has extra low frequency (30 Hz–300 Hz) and it works well to propagate any distance in
sea water. But, for its low frequency, it is needed high transmission power and large antennas.
Optical waves:
An optical wave for wireless communication has big advantage as it exceed 1 Giga bps. It can't
cross water boundary easily, suffers from severe absorption and scattering suspending particles and
planktons is significant Moderate link range (up to tens of meters).
Acoustics:
.As underwater acoustic communication is a technique of sending and receiving message below
water but there are some main limitations and challenges like time variations of the channel,
available bandwidth (small), signal attenuation (strong), multi path propagation, under water
communication is difficult – especially for long distances.
Attenuation of Acoustic Propagation

How Did Walkie Talkies Help Canada
Have you ever wondered what influenced the kind of technology we have today? Well, World War II
had a lot to do with it. Specifically, the Canadian scientists and inventors that helped Canada during
that war. They have created a large amount of the technology we used during World War II and that
we still use today. For example, walkie–talkies were made for soldiers in the army to communicate
with each other and radars were made to detect the location of aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, and
spacecraft. Radars also helped check how the weather conditions were. Furthermore, Canada didn't
defeat Germany in World War II by just using bombs and machine guns, Canada defeated Germany

Robert Watson helped win the Battle of Britain with his invention: the radar. A radar is a detection
system that uses radio waves to determine the distance of objects through range, angle, and velocity.
The Canadian military used these radars on ships, aircraft, and motor vehicles. Radars were
essential for these vehicles because the terrains and weather can become very dangerous while
travelling. The radars would provide them with rescue if they ever got lost. In addition, radars were
used to help locate Germany's ships and planes that might be a potential threat (Ryerson 294). As a
result, many bomb threats and attacks from Germany were avoided. In summary, the inventions of
scientists and inventors helped Canada defeat Germany in World War II. Another invention that
Canada thought was a great asset were sonars. A sonar is a system for the detection of objects under
water. They measure the depths of water by emitting sound pulses and detecting when those pulses
are reflected back from the depths. During World War II, Canadian submarines used sonars to detect
other vessels that may be around them. For example, by using the sonars, submarines can find
German submarines (U–boats) and capture them before they cause harm. Thus, the British and
Canadians were able to radar information really quickly, usually 75 percent or

The Titanic : The Causes And Impacts Of The Titanic
With a weight of 46,000 tons and a length of 882 feet, the Titanic was gigantic. The Titanic was part
of an Intense Competition Between Shipbuilders. When the Titanic was built, there was an intense
competition between the shipbuilders White Star Line and Cunard. J. Bruce Ismay, the chief
executive of White Star Line, talked about the construction of three ships when Cunard presented
two "standout" ships. The two ships that Cunard came out with were called Mauretania and
Lusitania. These ships were among the most luxurious and sophisticated. J. Bruce Ismay of the
White Star Line said that the three new ships were to be part of a new "Olympic" class of ships. Of
the "Olympic" ships, there were the Titanic, the Olympic, and the Britannic. This "Olympic" class of
ships were produced to compete against Cunard and its ships. White Star Line's three ships were
built to be the largest ships of their time and were made to have more comfort than speed. 2. There
were other "Unsettling" Events Besides the Titanic Hitting the Iceberg. One "unsettling" event that
happened to the Titanic besides the Titanic hitting the iceberg was that there was a small coal fire
found in one of the Titanic's bunkers. The stokers of the fire were ordered to control the fire at sea to

Many of today's machines create noise on land, but did you know that they also disturb the oceans?
However, the introduction of this noise has threatened the well being of marine life. Boats, oil
drilling equipment, and even military sonar activities have been known to create sound underwater.
Some scientists are cautious about these underwater disturbances because they may affect marine
life. However, the United States Navy disagree. The Navy's sonar equipment is used to gather
information about the ocean and protect the nation, but if the equipment affects marine life

Remote Minehunting System ( Rms ) Of Littoral Combat Ship
This paper examines Remote Minehunting System (RMS) of Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) in detail.
LCS is a fast platform designed for executing operations in near–shore environments. But, it is
capable of conducting open–ocean operation as well. It is designed to defeat asymmetric threats.
Mines, submarines and fast surface craft can be shown as unique examples of asymmetric threats.
The LCS, which is a fast, maneuverable surface ship, provides warfighting capabilities for
tasks/missions including mine warfare, anti–submarine warfare (ASW) and anti–surface warfare
(ASUW). The RMS, which will be deployed on LCS, is a component of the LCS Mine
Countermeasures (MCM) mission package (MP). The mission package is called the Remote
Minehunting System. The system uses the Remote Multimission Vehicle (RMMV). The RMMV
vehicle is produced by Lockheed Martin. It conducts autonomous and/or semi autonomous
missions. It also carries AQS–20A minehunting sonar. The sonar attached to RMMV is specifically
designed for a variable depth forward–looking and side–scanning under sea. Raytheon makes the
AQS–20As. The RMS detects, classifies, and localizes non–buried bottom and moored mines. It
also identifies shallow–water bottom mines.
U.S. Navy plans to keep its ships out of the dangerous minefield with the RMS. Navy focuses on
decreasing core crew for mine warfare while conducting mine–hunting operations as well. Navy

the opportunity actively fed on the prey for about 10s inside the circle before taking the positions of
other pairs. In this study, two response variables can be found which were the whistles rates and

Military Equipment : Radar And Sonar Technologies
Many modern defensive technologies focus on protecting military equipment. Radar and sonar
technologies are standard additions to most planes, submarines, and ships. Radar and sonar allow
the plane or ship to locate any possible incoming enemy and allows submarines to better navigate
the seas in front of them. With a warning for upcoming enemies, these planes and ships have a much
greater chance of getting the first attack (America in the 20th Century: World War II). Many
aircrafts also use stealth technology that was created during World War Two in Germany. As this
technology has improved, it can make a plane seem invisible, and allows a plane to reduce its
reflection, radio frequency spectrum, and radar and infrared emissions. This makes the plane much
harder to locate by shortening signals that could be received by an enemy. Aircrafts with this
technology are much harder to attack, and therefore, offer a significant advantage in any hostile
aerial situation (Chow). With today 's advancement in technological defence, it would be very
difficult to pull off a large successful attack against a rival country. There are also modern methods
of defense focused on providing protection for individual soldier. One of the most practical new
options that soldiers have access to is a camera mounted on the end of their rifle. When a soldier

Here is a brief description of what is going on. Fission uses a fairly common element called
uranium. Uranium has several isotopes, the most common of which is U–238. The isotope of
interest, however, is U–235. This is the only uranium isotope that can undergo induced fission. This
means that if a neutron were to come into contact with a U–235 atom, the atom would readily
absorb the neutron and would split into two smaller atoms. When this happens, there are enormous
amounts of energy and heat released.
There is an absolutely astonishing amount of energy released by this process, mostly in the form of
heat and gamma radiation. To put it in perspective, we can compare the energy available in gasoline
to that of uranium. If we take a U–235 enriched sample of uranium, such as that available on a
nuclear submarine, there would be about as much energy in a 1 pound sample as there would be in
about a million gallons of gas. In order for a sample of uranium to be this productive, it usually has
at least 2–3 percent U–235.
Now that we have a basic understanding of the fission process, we need to know how to harness all
of the available energy to drive the submarine. This is done by putting a nuclear power plant inside
the sub, often referred to as the propulsion plant. The propulsion plant uses a nuclear reactor to
fission U–235 to generate heat. There is water surrounding the reactor and the heat from

Components For Map Building Ultrasonic Range Sensor,...
Overall System
A– Hardware Subsystem
This system uses three components for map building Ultrasonic range sensor, Stepper motor driver
and Serial communication system. The microcontroller here is a central processing unit to
coordinate the previous three. Ultrasonic Range Sensor SRF05: The sensor operates in Mode 1
which uses a separate trigger and echo pins. These pins are connected to the PORT A of the
microcontroller and are responsible for triggering and measuring the time of flight of the echo. The
trigger pulse has a minimum duration of 10µS, for stable operation and an internal ultrasound burst
of 8 cycles at 40 kHz is sent. At the end of this process the state is preserved until an echo signal is
received. At the reception of an echo, the echo pin is cleared by the module and the microcontroller
detects it and stops the echo timer. Stepper Motor Driver This motor is driven using the control
signals from PORT D of the microcontroller. These signals are fed to a Darlington array which in
turn drives the motor at 12V. Utilization of the Darlington mechanism prevents drawing large
currents from the microcontroller at high loads. The resolution of the stepper motor is increased to
1.50 by utilizing a gear wheel with a gear reduction of 1:5. Readings are taken at each step location
by momentarily stopping the shaft and four such readings are averaged to obtain a single reading for
each 60. This helps the system to suppress any transient errors which

The early work in the 20th century used ultrasound as a therapy tool and it was not until the 1940's
that research began into its use as a diagnostic tool.
The use of ultrasound in medicine began during and shortly after the 2nd World War in various
centres around the world. (NSC, UK national screening committee)
The work of Dr.Karl Theodore Dussik in Austria in 1942 on transmission ultrasound investigation
of the brain provided the first published work on medical ultrasonic's.
Although other workers in the USA, Japan and Europe have also been cited as pioneers, the work of
Professor Ian Donald and his colleagues in Glasgow, in the mid 1950s, did much to facilitate the
development of practical technology and applications.
This lead to the wider use of ultrasound in medical practice in the subsequent decades.
Rapid technological advances in electronics and piezoelectric materials provided further
improvements from energy to greyscale images, and from still images to real–time moving images.
The technical advances at this time led to a rapid growth in the applications to which ultrasound

Social Animal Paper
Dolphins are highly social animals that travel in schools. It makes sense that they would sometimes
forage as a cooperative group. Several species have been observed to be group foragers. Some of
these species include spotted dolphins, Clymene dolphins, and bottlenose dolphins. The species
most associated with group foraging has been the dusky dolphin. Scientists have been trying to
determine how many dolphins actually forage in groups, and how they do it. It is hard to concretely
determine these, because quite a bit of foraging takes place under water. Scientists are still trying to
fully understand how these complex animals work.
Foraging is defined as "feeding and all behaviors associated with it (Dugatkin 2014)." There are
many different theories that researchers have used to show how foraging works. In a study about

sides of the school. Observations show that the group of dolphins herd the fish to the surface so they
cannot escape. While the other dolphins maintain the bubble, one individual at a time will break
ranks and collect up to five anchovies. They will then join back into the barrier and another dolphin
will take its chance to eat. It was also observed that the group of dolphins did not feed for a long

How Sonar Affects Sea Life

  • 1. How Sonar Affects Sea Life Sonar isn't a good thing to use in the ocean because it kills sea life and affects them and the scientists in the water, if something goes wrong. Also, sonar is experimenting with bats and experimenting on animals could go wrong. Sonar is used underwater to find different areas and it makes it easier for scientists and people who are exploring the different regions underwater. It creates a loud ping which shoots out and bounces off of different things. There are also two different types one is Passive Sonar and the other is Active Sonar. Passive Sonar just detects for loud noises while Active shoots out a ping. Sonar affects sea life because if researchers are using active sonar the loud ping can make the animals mostly whales go deaf and then they can't hear for signals from other whales and they could die. Another way it affects them is because some scientists and researchers use Sonar to find mines these mines are a danger to the ocean. When they are doing this they place metal scarps and other garbage along the sea floor. If an animal were to eat one of the metal scarps they could die because they wouldn't be able to digest it. According to National Geographic animals have been eating plastic, if ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They use their hearing to find food and other things. Scientists think that one day we will be able to use sonar like a bat uses its hearing to find new things. It will seem as though "we are seeing but without using our eyes" according to discovery education. In the video Super Sonar it shows a bat being locked in a cage which isn't that big. Bats are free animals and should not be put in cages or experimented on. According to the article What is it Like to be a Bat? the philosopher Thomas Nagel came to the conclusion that it wasn't possible for a human being to imagine what it was like to be a bat. This means we don't know how the bat is feeling being stuck in that ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Sonar: Comparing Dolphins And Whales The Sonar is a system for the identification of things under water and for measuring the water's depth by releasing sound pulses and finding or measuring their return after being detected.Sonar is using an echo. When an animal or machine makes sounds it sends sound waves into the air around it. Those waves bounce off objects, and some of them reflect back to the object that made the sound . It's the sound waves you hear when you scream and it echos back.The range of low frequency sonar is pretty cool. Dolphins and whales can tell the difference between things as small as BB's from 50 feet away, and they use sonar much more than sight to find their food, families, and direction. The sonar is being tested by the military. They are seeing how ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Active Denial System Paper Active Denial System The Active Denial System (ADS) is an electromagnetic, directed energy, non–lethal weapon designed by the US military and built by Raytheon (Cumming, 2010). The ADS works by producing 95GHz electromagnetic radiation that is focused in a beam at a target (Wikipedia, 2014). These 3.2mm electromagnetic waves work on the same principal as a microwave oven. The waves excite water and fat molecules instantly heating them through dielectric heating (Wikipedia, 2014). Due to the extremely high frequency of these waves, the energy from them is absorbed in within the first 0.4mm of skin, meaning they do not affect vital organs, blood vessels or nerve endings (Wikipedia, 2014). Due to these attributes, and the results of numerous studies, in which the worst injury inflicted by the ADS were pea sized blisters, with a 1 in 1000 chance of this ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This becomes a major problem when there is a large amount of water in the environment. In a situation with low humidity, the ADS has an effective operating range in excess of 500m (Danyalov, 2014). The ADS though is adversely affected by weather conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, sleet, and dust storms. The rain, fog, snow and sleet all reduce the range and effectiveness of the beam by absorbing the radiation it produces. The dust storm reduces the range of the ADS, not by absorbing the radiation, but by deflecting and dispersing it. Both of these situations mean that the full power of the ray is no longer reaching its intended target, "which may moderate the ADS's sensation to warm and comfortable"(Cumming, 2010). Along with aspects of the environment blocking the device, it can be countered by very reflective material such as aluminium foil (Cumming, 2010). Along with aluminium foil, a defence of sprinklers that produce a fine mist, similar to fire defence systems found on rural homes, could be used to counter the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Sonar Essay Even more recently, advancements in SONAR have led to the creation of multibeam SONAR and side scan SONAR. Multibeam SONAR emits and receives sound over a large area, and allow oceanographers to create the most accurate model a seafloor, a Holographic survey. The time between when the SONAR beams are sent out and when they return is measured to model the ocean floor. While effective for deeper rocky bottoms multibeam SONAR does not function well in shallow flat bottoms. Thus side scan SONAR is used to model these flat bottoms, despite its detractor of not being able to determine depth (Burgera, 2016). In conjunction with the SONAR models, GPS is used to accurately construct large scale models of the ocean floor (Langer, 1991). Sidescan ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Changes in temperature can show the change in surface flow which affects the behavior of aquatic life and weather, or the occurrence of an upwelling (Lathram, 1986). Changes in color can indicate underwater seismic activity, pollution, or even algal blooms. Not only have satellites improved how researchers obtain information about the ocean but they have also allowed for more accurate maps of the ocean to be created. One example of oceanographic research conducted with the aid of a satellite was the creation of the Sea–Viewing Wide Field–of–View Sensor or SeaWIFS, by company Orbital Sciences (Pinkerton, 2003). The goal of the SeaWIFS mission was to determine the amount of chlorophyll produced by marine phytoplankton in our oceans. Through the use of sensors that can record different optical bands of light reflected from the oceans. Heat mapps where then constructed using this data, and all testing was done in conjunction with NASA. While plankton are just microscopic plants they could have enormous implications for the future of our planet, affecting everything from climate change to the fish that we eat. Research was even conducted in confirming the accuracy of the SeaWIFS sensors and determined that with upgraded software, the data collected was accurate (Pinkerton, 2003). SeaWIFS exceeded its original mission of a 5 year study of Earth's chlorophyll and sent back readings for 13 ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Loch Ness Monster Outline Guiding question: Have you ever wondered if one of the famous cryptids is real? Thesis: The Loch Ness Monster is real. –––––––––––––– Introduction Stories of the Loch Ness monster have been told for centuries. The earliest reported sighting was in 500 a.d. by an Irish missionary named St. Columba. While in his adventures of spreading Christianity, he saved a man from a monster by making the sign of the cross and ordering the beast to leave. The Loch Ness Monster is not just from medieval mythology though, numerous people have claimed they've seen it too. Describing it as 30 feet in length with a long neck and flipper in the middle of its body. The best evidence for Nessies would be the Dinsdale film, many sonar results, and underwater photographs obtained at the same time as strong sonar echoes. Evidence #1 ...

There was a hump shown in the wake and a second hump seen briefly behind the first hump. It was large and moving below the surface at 10 mph. The end of the film shows paddle action and periodic splashes at the side of the wake. The camera and film were sealed and developed at Kodak laboratories.

  • 7. How Does Bat Sonar Work? 1.0 Introduction Weather plays an important role in our daily lives. When we watch weather forecast, we can know whether it will rain next few days. But how do we predict weather conditions? It is a device called meteorological radar. Meteorological radar can provide information like the size, intensity, and height of the target. Actually, besides meteorological radar, there are many kinds of helpful radar without which people will live a totally different life. What contributes to the invention of radar? The answer is bat sonar. Bats can emit a high–frequency sound that people cannot hear, and receive the returning waves to "see" the surroundings. However, how does bat sonar work? What can bat sonar be applied for? Does bat sonar have unanswered problems? These questions will be solved in the following report 2.0 Mechanics ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Most bats produce sounds in their larynxes and emit them by mouth or nose while other bats produce echolocation sounds by tongue clicking. Basically, bats using larynxes produce sounds in the way just like other mammalian. When they exhale, the air from their lungs vibrate the vocal chords and produce sound waves. Some bats open their mouths while flying, producing sounds through their mouths. Scientists also think some bats have special–structure nose that can collect sounds so they may produce sounds from their noses. Other details were also found related to mechanics of bats.

Sound consists of oscillating waves of compression and decompression of a transmitting medium i.e. air or water, traveling at a fixed velocity (Støylen, 2015). The frequency of sound waves refers to the number oscillations per second, with one cycle per second is considered a unit of 1 hertz (Henderson, 2014). Sound waves oscillating above 20,000 Hz are categorised as ultrasound waves. As sound waves are a transverse wave forms this means the only variant is its frequency and wavelength despite the location in the spectrum. The wavelength is defined as the distance travelled by sound in one cycle, or the distance between two identical points in the wave cycle i.e. the distance from each oscillation (Cura Rodríguez, Seguí and Nicolau, 2012). In regards to wave forms the wavelength shows very little significance as it is inversely proportional to frequency. In reference to the structure a waveform, the significance of the wavelength is one of the main factors affecting the resolution of an ultrasound image, this is because smaller wavelengths (higher frequency) are absorbed more by soft tissue. This variable absorption rate with structures of different impedances allows distinctive structures to be clearly represented. In echocardiography, the

  • 11. Communicating In Pods Essay Kassi Brown Lab 2 Communication in Cetaceans Current Research: How Dolphins Communicate– Dolphins travel together in pods. Even though they are travelling in pods it doesn't necessarily mean they are swimming side by side, so they have developed communication tactics to communicate between one other. Dolphins use sound communication, since sounds travels 4.5 to 5 times faster in the water. Over time dolphins have developed a very high pitch whistles to communicate with others. Dolphins whistle for many different means of communication such as, letting the rest of the pod know where they are, letting others know who is in the pod, or about their state of mentality (if they are distressed). Dolphins do not always whistle back right away to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Baleen whales are born with plates that have bristles attached to the plates (Whalefacts.org 2015). Baleen whales will communicate using long very low frequency sounds. Humpback whales communicate using melodic whale songs. These low sounds can be heard many miles away and allow whales to communicate long distances. Which is helpful in keeping track of the other whales when on long trips, looking for a mate, or to let others know of their claimed territory (Whalefacts.org 2015). Technology used to determine communication– Divers have carried computers underwater to record the sounds of the marine mammals communicating. The computer will emit a light that picks up the frequencies to will make a path to detect which way they are coming from. The diver will also carry a device which is called a Twiddler that can choose and make a sound in response (New Scientist 2015). Sonar: Active Sonar: Scientists have discovered a way to be able to send signals into the water to communicate with the marine mammals that are within range. We call this process "active sonar."

  • 12. The Dangers Encountered by the Orcinus Orca The dangers encountered by the Orcinus orca "Extinction means having no living representatives, having died out" (Dictionary.Com). We're currently experiencing the worst spate of species die–offs since the loss of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago" (Center for Biological Diversity). Among all the species, there are still animals that have a hope of living the next generation. Despite being threatened they are not endangered. The orca whale, commonly known as the killer whale is a prime example. To date approximately 50,000 orca populations thrive though out the world. Previously the world wide estimate was double that, at 100,000 (Kirby). It has been found in resent studies that the orca population is decreasing due to many hardships they face such as toxins, captivity, and depletion of food. To date the killer whale is considered in the group of most successful predator. Not only throughout the world, but definably in the oceanic world; Pods, the family of orca, range from 20 to 200 members (NOAA Fisheries). Seen inhabiting all oceans of the world, orca whales dwell from the cold water upwelling's of the Artic to the warm waters of Hawaii. In 1964 the area, killer whale appeared in public display for the first time the criminal making a 180 degree turn from "wolf of the sea to cute cuddly sea panda.

  • 13. How Does Anthropogenic Noise Affect Cetaceans Introduction As human presence in the oceans is continually revealed to be detrimental to marine life, one major area of concern is noise pollution in the ocean and its effects on marine mammals. Sound is vital to marine mammals' communication and livelihood, so the disturbance of the sound in their habitat has varying effects. The impact of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals, specifically cetaceans, can be seen in various experiments and observations concerning the sounds produced by shipping, construction, and sonars. All of which reveal potential and consequential behavioral and physiological effects, which include acoustic masking, change in foraging behavior, and mass strandings. Species studied include harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It is important that we continue to research known harmful anthropogenic sounds and their effects on cetaceans to limit further damage, and to research other sources of noise due to humans and their potential effects to prevent future harm. Through research, it is shown that various noise pollution caused by humans can have detrimental effects on cetaceans such as harbor porpoises, bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, and Cuvier's beaked whales. Shipping, windfarm construction, and sonar can cause temporary or permanent hearing threshold changes, which can result in decreased foraging ability and communication ability. Shipping has been seen to decrease foraging time and cause acoustic masking. Sonar can cause death due to strandings and lesions. These all add up to show that, overall, noise pollution by humans has a serious effect on the quality of life for cetaceans. It is also important to recognize that absence of a detected reaction does not mean that there is no impact on these cetaceans. It is possible that noise pollution can cause physiological and psychological responses without any external symptoms we can detect. It may be important to develop methods to observe these more subtle reactions to noise pollution that may impact cetacean's way of life. It is important that humans realize the full extent of their effect on marine life and create measures to prevent more harm. Noise pollution's effect on cetaceans affect not only these species, but the other marine life they interact with and the ecosystems of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 15. The Body Found By Sid Bennett Many kids grow up watching Disney movies, and young girls who idolize Ariel from The Little Mermaid hope that mermaids might be real. In the mockumentary Mermaids: The Body Found, directed by Sid Bennett, the idea of mermaids is explored when the actors proclaim that mermaids were found among beached whales due to Navy Sonar tests (IMDB par 2). Bennett mixes fact with fiction in an attempt to get people to relate to the beached whales. He makes a mockumentary that is believable to many due to how closely it resembles a real documentary, complete with actors posing as credible scientists. Despite having no evidence, people want to believe that myths such as mermaids do exist. Bennett's purpose of the film is to convince people to care about how the Sonar tests affect whales by trying to make it seem as if mermaids are going through the same thing. However, he is unsuccessful because he fails to make a connection with the audience, does not have enough credible information on mermaids, and does not focus enough on the whales themselves. During the mockumentary, an anecdote is told about a mermaid who sacrifices himself to Megladon, a huge, prehistoric shark, for his family so they can get away and stay safe (Mermaids n.p.). This is an attempt to make the audience feel empathetic towards the mermaids and to relate to them. It is human nature to protect young children and in the past it was the man's job to protect his family. However, this is ineffective due to the randomness ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Before World War I airplanes had never been used to fight a war, therefore when World War I broke out and planes were sent into battle this was new technology (Lansford). During World War I aircraft were used to combat U–Boats in two ways, by supplementing them to convoys, and by using them to drop aerial bombs (Lansford). Aircrafts were added to convoys for various reasons these reasons included the fact that an aircraft could see more terrain than a surface vessel and could engage quicker and more efficiently than ...

One of the major reasons aerial bombings were so effective was due to the angle of sight aircrafts had, they could see exactly where the U–Boat was versus the guessing surface vessels had to do to know how far away a U–Boat was. Another reason aerial bombings were so effective was due to the fact that aircraft were quicker than surface vessels and did not have to come so close to the U–Boat and be noticed to drop their depth charges. These aerial bombings were very effective in destroying U–Boats, they were essentially depth charges dropped from an aircraft and worked basically the same way. These aerial bombs were not dropped on the U–Boat rather right behind or in front of it as to allow the shock wave to destroy the U–Boat not the impact (Lansford). The utilization of aircraft was on of the major ways the US and its allies combatted the U–Boat during World War I. During World War II technological advancements mainly included radar and sonar. Radar and Sonar were two different technologies used for the same purpose, to detect U–Boats.

  • 18. What It Does It Exist? In our history as a species, humankind has always been curious about itself. We have entire fields of study dedicated to the understanding of what it means to be a human. One of the ways we explore our species and the societies we build is through the discovery and careful recording of those people and societies that have come before us. However, as early research destroyed more than it conserved, new techniques were necessary to keep as much of our history intact as possible. This led to new ways of conducting these investigations, preserving as much of the materials as possible. Two such advances are ground penetrating radar (GPR) and side–scan sonar (SSS). Ground penetrating radar was first suggested not long after radar itself was patented, but was not widely available to the general public until the mid–20th century. The way it works is simple: electromagnetic radiation that exists on the radio band of frequency is sent into the earth, and different densities of materials reflect these waves back in different ways. A highly skilled operator is absolutely essential in the use of GPR, as these waves are difficult to read and interpret. However, with these returned waves understood properly, much information can be discovered without ever compromising the site. Side–scan sonar is a similar application for an entirely different kind of archaeological site: underwater. SSS uses sonar pulses aimed at the bottom of any body of water and the reflections of these ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

A radar is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the distance of objects through range, angle, and velocity. The Canadian military used these radars on ships, aircraft, and motor vehicles. Radars were essential for these vehicles because the terrains and weather can become very dangerous while travelling. The radars would provide them with rescue if they ever got lost. In addition, radars were used to help locate Germany's ships and planes that might be a potential threat (Ryerson 294). As a result, many bomb threats and attacks from Germany were avoided. In summary, the inventions of scientists and inventors helped Canada defeat Germany in World War II. Another invention that Canada thought was a great asset were sonars. A sonar is a system for the detection of objects under water. They measure the depths of water by emitting sound pulses and detecting when those pulses are reflected back from the depths. During World War II, Canadian submarines used sonars to detect other vessels that may be around them.

Bruce Ismay, the chief executive of White Star Line, talked about the construction of three ships when Cunard presented two "standout" ships. The two ships that Cunard came out with were called Mauretania and Lusitania. These ships were among the most luxurious and sophisticated. J. Bruce Ismay of the White Star Line said that the three new ships were to be part of a new "Olympic" class of ships. Of the "Olympic" ships, there were the Titanic, the Olympic, and the Britannic.

  • 31. Military Equipment : Radar And Sonar Technologies Many modern defensive technologies focus on protecting military equipment. Radar and sonar technologies are standard additions to most planes, submarines, and ships. Radar and sonar allow the plane or ship to locate any possible incoming enemy and allows submarines to better navigate the seas in front of them. With a warning for upcoming enemies, these planes and ships have a much greater chance of getting the first attack (America in the 20th Century: World War II). Many aircrafts also use stealth technology that was created during World War Two in Germany. As this technology has improved, it can make a plane seem invisible, and allows a plane to reduce its reflection, radio frequency spectrum, and radar and infrared emissions. This makes the plane much harder to locate by shortening signals that could be received by an enemy. Aircrafts with this technology are much harder to attack, and therefore, offer a significant advantage in any hostile aerial situation (Chow).

Uranium has several isotopes, the most common of which is U–238. The isotope of interest, however, is U–235. This is the only uranium isotope that can undergo induced fission. This means that if a neutron were to come into contact with a U–235 atom, the atom would readily absorb the neutron and would split into two smaller atoms. When this happens, there are enormous amounts of energy and heat released. There is an absolutely astonishing amount of energy released by this process, mostly in the form of heat and gamma radiation. To put it in perspective, we can compare the energy available in gasoline to that of uranium. If we take a U–235 enriched sample of uranium, such as that available on a nuclear submarine, there would be about as much energy in a 1 pound sample as there would be in about a million gallons of gas. In order for a sample of uranium to be this productive, it usually has at least 2–3 percent U–235. Now that we have a basic understanding of the fission process, we need to know how to harness all of the available energy to drive the submarine.

Overall System A– Hardware Subsystem This system uses three components for map building Ultrasonic range sensor, Stepper motor driver and Serial communication system. The microcontroller here is a central processing unit to coordinate the previous three. Ultrasonic Range Sensor SRF05: The sensor operates in Mode 1 which uses a separate trigger and echo pins. These pins are connected to the PORT A of the microcontroller and are responsible for triggering and measuring the time of flight of the echo. The trigger pulse has a minimum duration of 10µS, for stable operation and an internal ultrasound burst of 8 cycles at 40 kHz is sent. At the end of this process the state is preserved until an echo signal is received. At the reception of an echo, the echo pin is cleared by the module and the microcontroller detects it and stops the echo timer. Stepper Motor Driver This motor is driven using the control signals from PORT D of the microcontroller. These signals are fed to a Darlington array which in turn drives the motor at 12V. Utilization of the Darlington mechanism prevents drawing large currents from the microcontroller at high loads. The resolution of the stepper motor is increased to 1.50 by utilizing a gear wheel with a gear reduction of 1:5.

It is hard to concretely determine these, because quite a bit of foraging takes place under water. Scientists are still trying to fully understand how these complex animals work. Foraging is defined as "feeding and all behaviors associated with it (Dugatkin 2014)." There are many different theories that researchers have used to show how foraging works. In a study about foraging in groups, researchers Krause and Ruxton found that "increasing foraging group size increases the amount of food each forager receives (Dugatkin)." This may ...

These small groups suddenly stop moving when a school of fish is seen. Dolphins begin swimming around and underneath the school. They also leap at the sides of the school. Observations show that the group of dolphins herd the fish to the surface so they cannot escape. While the other dolphins maintain the bubble, one individual at a time will break ranks and collect up to five anchovies. They will then join back into the barrier and another dolphin will take its chance to eat. It was also observed that the group of dolphins did not feed for a long time. The average time spent feeding on one group was five minutes. Eventually that school of fish will escape and the group will move on and begin to hunt for some more fish for several ...
