High-Frequency Acoustic Propagation in Shallow, Energetic, Highly-Salt-Stratified Environments

Abstract

The long term goal of this research is to measure and understand high-frequency, line-of-sight acoustic propagation in an estuarine environment characterized by strong tidal flow, often large salinity stratification, high shear, high dissipation rates of turbulent kinetic energy, shear instabilities, and increased water property variability.
