A Bayesian method to estimate the depth and the range of phonating sperm whales using a single hydrophone [PDF]

, 2007
Some bioacousticians have used a single hydrophone to calculate the depth/range of phonating diving animals. The standard one-hydrophone localization method uses multipath transmissions (direct path, sea surface, and seafloor reflections) of the animal ...
