Comprehensive Environmental Measurements from Autonomous Profiling Floats and Supplement for EM-APEX Presentations and Publications

Abstract

The region of the South China Sea slope and shelf present challenges because of the changing influences of typhoons, non-linear internal waves, internal tidal waves, intrusions of the Kuroshio and water mass fronts and eddies. I want to quantify the dominant spatial and temporal scales for these influences on acoustic propagation, Kuroshio instabilities, and bottom scouring and sediment suspension. It is important to present the results in ways that can be implemented by acousticians conducting simultaneous measurements and modeling.
