The Effect of Small-Scale Ocean Fluctuations on Ocean Acoustic Transmission

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA627250 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The long-term goal is to connect the results of sound transmission and scattering experiments to known or hypothesized structures within the hydrosphere, such as internal waves or microstructure, with account taken of ocean anisotropy, inhomogeneity, and the sound channel.
