FINAL REPORT OF CONTRACT Nonr-2866 INCLUDING A HISTORY OF THE CONTRACT AND A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS SUPPORTED BY THE CONTRACT AT THE WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION FROM MARCH 1, 1959 TO JUNE 30, 1969
Abstract
The Contract was initiated as a project to provide basic environmental measurements in a broad ocean area between Bermuda and the Antilles that would limit the specifications and the performance of a large long range underwater acoustics system known as Project ARTEMIS. From the beginning in late 1958 until the present the research program included sound transmission studies, temperature and sound velocity measurements, studies of currents in the deep ocean and studies of the bottom conditions. This program of research has brought about better understanding of the ocean bottom in the Bermuda-Antilles area. A reliable environmental ocean measuring system was developed under this contract and put to use to determine spatial and temporal variations in the acoustic structure in the ocean.
