Integrated Studies of Oceanographic Processes and Shallow Water Acoustics in the South China Sea: Custom Climatology and Mid-Shelf Field Work

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand shelfbreak processes in the South China Sea including the Kuroshio Intrusion and their impact on shallow water acoustic propagation for low and mid-frequency acoustics. The scientific objectives are to obtain climatologies of the continental shelf and slope regions around Taiwan as well as to continue analysis of hydrographic data collected during a joint Oceanographic- Acoustics cruise during April, 2005.
