Abstract:

The Multiple Discipline Group MDG was formed to bring together diverse elements of the University of Washington and other institutions to work on oceanographic and acoustic problems. The work of the MDG includes experimental, numerical and theoretical investigations of surface scattering, of wave propagation in random media WPRM, and of the physics of shallow water acoustic propagation. Currently the MDG is a recognized element of the Applied Physics Laboratory reporting to the Deputy Director of APL. An Executive Committee sets policy and recommends and approves the collaborative programs under the aegis of the MDG.
