ONR Graduate Traineeship Award in Ocean Acoustics for Mr. Joshua D. Wilson

Abstract

The goal of this research is to test the hypothesis that inexpensive underwater acoustic measurements can be used to determine the wind speed and classify the destructive power of a hurricane with greater accuracy than standard satellite remote sensing techniques. It is proposed to do this by conducting field experiments in cooperation with the Mexican Navy just off the Mexican Isla Socorro which has a well-equipped meteorological station and the highest frequency of tropical cyclone occurrences in the world [6].
