Acoustic Implications of Mesoscale Oceanographic Phenomena

Abstract

This volume documents an investigation into the effects of mesoscale oceanographic features on underwater acoustic propagation. A recent eddy model is evaluated for its application to acoustic analysis. The effects of range- dependence, source-receiver geometry, and source frequency are examined. Descriptive statistics are used to provide a quantitative measure of the energy redistribution caused by the presence of an eddy.
