Nonlinear Internal Waves: Test of the Inverted Echo Sounder

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop, through comprehensive observation and analysis, the application of pressure equipped inverted echo sounders for measurement of nonlinear internal waves. The objective is to acquire observations of nonlinear internal waves in the South China Sea, using modified pressure sensor equipped inverted echo sounders [PIES]. The deployments will test the applicability of this technique and explore approaches for inverting the data to recover internal wave properties. The objectives of this proposal merged with the objectives of a follow on proposal designed to acquire additional data using PIES in the South China Sea.
