🐋 Whale Call Acoustics Lab: SOFAR Sound Channel, Thorp Absorption and Ship-Noise Masking

Trace sound rays from a calling whale through deep-channel, shelf, duct and Arctic sound-speed profiles, see where the call is audible given Thorp absorption and shipping noise, and measure how much ship noise shrinks the communication area. Includes a received-level map, a hydrophone you can move and independent numerical checks.
