Directional Wave Buoy to Support Low-to-Mid Frequency Ocean Acoustic Studies DURIP Grant

Abstract

This DURIP grant was directed towards the preparation for the Targets and Reverberation Experiment that occurred off Florida during the spring of 2013 (TREX13). Preparation included the procurement of instrumentation to measure the directional wave spectrum which is an important environmental driver to shallow water, mid-to-high frequency sonar performance in particular and underwater acoustic propagation in general. A primary objective was the purchase of a commercially available, directional wave buoy, with a second objective to use remaining funds for enhancing the capability of the acoustic receiving arrays for use in TREX13.
