Oceanographic Variability and the Performance of Passive and Active Sonars in the Philippine Sea

Abstract

The title of this project reflects works completed under the NPAL program where long range signals were received by the NPAL billboard array off the coast of California. This effort transitioned to the BASSEX (Basin Acoustic Seabed Scattering Experiment) which was conducted jointly with Scripps Inst. of Oceanography and the Univ. of Washington as part of the SPICEX/ LOAPEX/BASSEX experiments. Last year's annual report discussed results already achieved during BASSEX.
