Preliminary Environmental Assessment of the PROJECT GEMINI Site-Corpus Christi, Texas.
Abstract
This report is a preliminary assessment of the environment along parts of the continental shelf off corpus Christi, Texas, and predicts acoustic propagation for a specific site within the area. A geoacoustic model is developed, based upon archived high-resolution seismic and sediment core data. Theoretical bottom loss, transmission loss, and mode attenuations are calculated using these environmental models as input. Finally, an environmental acoustic evaluation is presented for guidance in the post-experiment analysis, and a comparison is made between the present evaluation and a previous acoustic experiment conducted at this location.
