The Effects of Ocean Surface Roughness on the Transmission of Sound From an Airborne Source.

Abstract

Using the research platform 'FLIP', experiments were conducted to determine the effect of measured ocean surface roughness on transmission of sound from an airborne source into the sea. Signal noise both at the air-water interface and at points in the underwater sound field were recorded using modified AN/SSQ-57 sonobuoys. Ocean wave spectra and rms wave height, sigma, were determined from simultaneous recordings of ocean surface wave height variations. (Author)
