🐬 Porpoise Biosonar Lab: Click Train, Echo Delay and the Sonar Equation for Prey Detection

A harbour porpoise hunts a school of fish with clicks: watch the sound pulses and echoes travel, the click interval follow the echo delay, and see how frequency, noise, temperature and salinity set the detection range through the sonar equation, with live A-scope and numerical checks.
