Basin Acoustic Seamount Scattering Experiment (BASSEX) Data Analysis and Modeling
Abstract
In this program we are focusing on the science issues associated with long range ocean acoustic propagation in range-dependent environments. The primary goal is to understand the physics of the acoustic propagation in complex environments. Three specific propagation regimes are the focus of this work: 1.) seamount scattering, 2.) open ocean propagation and 3.) downslope propagation and subsequent deep water propagation. The long-term goal is understand scattering off of seamounts and island slopes and to develop algorithms for modeling the acoustic field in these severely range dependent (and azimuthally anisotropic) environments.
