Introduction

Published in Paul C. Etter, Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation, 2017

Many investigators have introduced suggestions for a standard system of units to satisfy the requirements that are unique to the underwater acoustics community. Recently, for example, Carey (1995) clarified the use of SI metric units for measurements and calculations used in underwater acoustics and bioacoustics, whereas Hall (1995) reexamined the dimensions of units for source strength, transmission loss, target strength, surface-scattering strength, and volume-scattering strength. [Hall (1996) presented important corrections to his 1995 paper.] In addition, technical dictionaries (e.g., Morfey, 2000) provide useful guidance on proper terminology and usage.

Bioacoustics is an interdisciplinary branch that combines biology with acoustics to study the production of sound, its propagation through elastic means, and its intake from animals. It deals with objective electrophysiological measurements performed on animals for the study of the hearing instrument, with emphasis on the bioelectric potentials. The Sea Audio Dataset used in this study was created for the extension of a previous research effort of our team (Demertzis et al., 2017). More details are presented in the next paragraphs.
