Performance of a glider‐mounted multifrequency echosounder for measuring the vertical distribution and abundance of large pelagic copepods

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The difficulty of sampling zooplankton communities in situ has driven advancements in autonomous, remote sensing technology. The goal of this paper was to perform a gear comparison study testing the performance of one such piece of technology—a glider‐mounted four‐frequency echosounder—against traditional shipboard methods of measuring ...
