UNDERWATER SOUND IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN

Abstract

The three major areas investigated were propagation loss, surface reverberation, and ambient noise. Propagation loss measurements were made between several of the drift stations occupied during that period. Aircraft were also employed to drop charges along various tracks covering most of the Canadian Basin. Reverberation and ambient noise measurements were made at the drift stations independently.
