ONR Basic Research in Ocean Acoustics for FY05

Abstract

The long-term goals of this research are [1] to advance the experimental and theoretical knowledge base for the interaction of low frequency sound with the seabed in complex shallow water environments and [2] to characterize the nature of ambient noise in a deep water region. The primary goal for the shallow water research is the discovery by experimentation of the underlying physics for the frequency dependence of the complex sound speed in marine sediments typically found in shallow seas. The primary goal for the ambient noise research is the recovery, analysis, and interpretation of acoustic data collected at a submerged buoy site in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.
