Surface-Duct Sonar Measurements (SUDS I - 1972) Oceanographic Measurements. Volume II. Station 1 Data Report.
Abstract
This is the second of five volumes describing the environmental measurements made during the SUDS I experiments. Volume I discusses the instrumentation used to make the required environmental measurements, the data reduction procedures, an accuracy analysis of the final measurements, and the reconstruction of the experimental track charts. This volume contains a detailed report of the environmental measurements applicable to the acoustic experiments conducted during station 1, where five propagation loss runs were completed. Figure 1 shows the track of the source ship during these experiments. Source ship speed was 3 knots for runs 1-4 and 6 knots for run 5. The detailed environmental data for each propagation loss run are summarized in the form of charts, plots, and tables in the appendices. Each appendix presents the same kind of data in the same sequence for all propagation loss runs. Additions and omissions are made as appropriate for the run described. Thus the first appendix figure (i. e., A-1, B-1, etc.) is a chart showing the locations of source and receiver ships, selected propagation paths, and wind velocity. The second figure (A-2, B-2, etc.) is a chart showing the locations of XBT and thermistor chain measurements used to determine the distribution of sound speed present during the acoustic experiments and the identification of the ship making the measurement.
