Acoustics Reverberation Special Research Program, Acoustics Reconnaissance Cruise Report: Monitoring Support System Supplement
Abstract
This document has been prepared to supplement the ARSRP Acoustics Reconnaissance Cruise Report of 19 August 1991. It is devoted exclusively to the presentation of reverberation displays produce by the Monitoring Support Software (MSS) aboard the RV Cory Chouest during the reconnaissance cruise in the summer of 1991. Although not the quality of the MSS displays, we also present here selected displays from the Versatec plotter on the Cory. These plots should provide an insight into the character of the reverberation in the ARSRP reconnaissance area and help in the quantitative analyses of the data tapes. They are also very useful in themselves for analysis and interpretation of the scattering. Some such analyses have been presented by the authors in earlier symposia of the ARSRP. Here only the plots are presented; interpretation is left for the ARSRP investigators. Section 8 of the cruise report deals generally with the Real Time Processor (RTP) system that prepares the data that are displayed by the MSS and Versatec. On pages 222-223 brief discussions of MSS/Versatec displays are given. One might note that useful header information is given on both the MSS and Versatec displays. Here we will discuss only the characteristics of the MSS displays that are needed to interpret the reverberation plots presented in this supplement. Bottom scattering, reverberation.
