      The optical chain and logger (OptiCAL) is an autonomous ice-tethered observatory equipped with multiple light sensors for mapping the variation of light with depth. We describe the instrument and present an ensemble calibration for downwelling irradiance E<sub>PAR</sub> in [µmolm<sup>−2</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>]. Results from a long-term deployment in the Arctic Ocean demonstrate that the OptiCAL can ...
    • Model-informed classification of broadband acoustic backscatter from zooplankton in an in situ mesocosm 

      Dunn, Muriel Barbara; McGowan-Yallop, Chelsey; Pedersen, Geir; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Daase, Malin Hildegard Elisabeth; Last, Kim; Langbehn, Tom; Fielding, Sophie; Brierley, Andrew S.; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Camus, Lionel; Geoffroy, Maxime (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-07)
      Classification of zooplankton to species with broadband echosounder data could increase the taxonomic resolution of acoustic surveys and reduce the dependence on net and trawl samples for ‘ground truthing’. Supervised classification with broadband echosounder data is limited by the acquisition of validated data required to train machine learning algorithms (‘classifiers’). We tested the hypothesis ...
