We developd a data-driven methodology based on matrix decomposition to build compact representation of long-term echosounder time series using intrinsic features in the data.
From basic foundational concepts to advanced topics in modeling the statistics of echoes from discrete scatterers, inspired by sonar observation of marine organisms.
Mid-frequency sonar provides a first-of-the-kind macroscopic observation of the nightly foraging runs of fish inhabiting a shallow-water artificial reef in northern Gulf of Mexico.
Experimental measurements and theoretical modeling provided insights into the mechanisms by which tongue-clicking fruit bats change their echolocation sonar beam direction without changing head aim or mouth shape.

The weak but persistent echoes from the hindwing tails of luna moths may help them confuse the sonar-guided bat predators, even though the tail echoes themselves are not strong enough to completely distract the bats' attention.
