Oceanographic and Bathymetric Effects on Ocean Acoustics

Abstract

The focus of my recent research has been to develop an improved capability for understanding and predicting the signal and noise structure in the high-frequency (HF) band. The principal applications are: 1) acoustic communication networks, 2) HF environmental probing to sense the operating environment for navy systems, and 3) geoacoustic mapping via ambient noise. This work has developed some novel tools such as the VirTEX channel simulator that we would also like to extend to other applications, especially long range, low-frequency propagation. We also hope to establish more direct links to the physical oceanography and associated models (NCOM, SWAN, WaveWatch II).
