TL;DR: PAMGUARD provides a flexible and easy‐to‐use suite of detection, localization, data management, and display modules that provide a standard interface across different platforms with the flexibility to allow multiple detectors to be added, removed, and configured according to the species of interest and the hardware configuration on a particular project.

TL;DR: Four whales recorded on a 48-element tilted vertical array off the Channel Islands in 1996 displayed an unusual diversity of signals that include three strong frequency-modulated (FM) downsweeps which contain possible signs of an internal resonance.

TL;DR: In this article, the travel times between the elements of a bottom hydrophone array can be estimated from the time-averaged ambient noise cross-correlation function (NCF) using 11min-long data blocks of ambient noise recordings that were collected in May 1995 near the southern California coast at an average depth of 21 m in the 150-700 Hz frequency range.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional dive trajectories of three sperm whales in the Gulf of Mexico have been obtained by measuring the relative arrival times and bearings of the animals' acoustic multipath reflections, using two elements of a towed hydrophone array deployed at an unknown depth and orientation.

TL;DR: The virtual aperture can be reformulated for range-dependent environments, if adiabatic propagation assumptions are valid, and if the bathymetry surrounding the array is known.
