Underwater Acoustics Course
12 - 15 May, 2008

This intensive short course, with a duration of four days, will take place at the SiPLAB premises (University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas) and covers all aspects of underwater acoustics. It includes one day at sea, in a 30-foot long catamaran steaming out from the port of Vilamoura. During this test an AOB (Acoustic Oceanographic Buoy) and a Lubell acoustic source will be deployed from the ship to transmit and receive underwater acoustic signals. The analysis of the data gathered during that day will be done during the course.
The course will be given in portuguese.

Lubell 1424HP being recovered during RADAR'06 Broadband Lubell acoustic source
This is model 1424HP sound source made by Lubell. It is a piezoelectric transducer delivering 197 dB/uPA/1 m @ 600 Hz (80 V rms). Its main advantage is its size and weigth for a usefull band of 400 Hz - 8 kHz. Its main disadvantage is the limited depth rating of 12 m without pressure compensation. Purchased under projects NUACE and UAB.
