AT

Code and test cases for the Bellhop, Bellhop3D, BOUNCE and KRAKEN models of the Acoustic Toolbox Click here to download.

PAM2py

a Python open source version of the PAMGuide package for Passive Acoustic Monitoring, written under the JONAS poject; the GUI features the Exchange Data Format (EDF) for facilitated underwater acoustic data sharing and metadata handling. Python allows for a crossplatform licence free processing of raw acoustic data and EDF output.
