High-Frequency Broadband Acoustic Scattering from Temperature and Salinity Microstructure: From Non-Linear Internal Waves to Estuarine Plumes
Abstract
The primary objective of the proposed research was to measure high-frequency broadband acoustic backscattering in highly stratified, energetic environments and to determine the contribution to scattering from temperature and salinity microstructure. Testing the validity of existing scattering models and the initial development of new, and/or extension of existing, simple physics-based scattering models was a secondary objective of this work.
