Laboratory Measurements of Multi-Frequency and Broadband Acoustic Scattering from Turbulent and Double-Diffusive Microstructure

Abstract

The long-term goal of the proposed research is to develop a fundamental understanding of high-frequency acoustic scattering from small-scale physical processes that occur in the ocean interior. The primary scientific objective of the proposed research is to measure, characterize, and understand the physics of high-frequency acoustic scattering from controlled, laboratory-generated microstructure, with a focus on double diffusion. The initial development of simple physics based scattering models is a secondary objective of this work.
