A Possible Acoustical Method of Determining the Content of an Oscillating Bubble Near the Sea Floor

Abstract

A procedure is described in which acoustical methods can be used to study oscillating bubbles at the ocean floor. By observing the decay of the oscillation the Q value of the system can be measured. Laboratory experiments indicate that the Q value is a characteristic of the gas content of the bubble.
