Abstract:

The report describes the hydrographic section chosen to study acoustic effects of fronts in the Western North Atlantic Ocean and the preparation of a data deck for the Acoustic Environmental Support Detachment program. A series of computer runs made at Naval Research Laboratories with varied source location and depth, receiver depth and presence of large scale anomalies in the hydrographic section form the basis of the parametric study.
