Implementation of an Ocean Acoustic Laboratory at PMRF

Abstract

The intended result of this effort is to enable a capability for an Ocean Acoustic Laboratory at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF). This includes a Tomographic Imaging (TI) System using the extensive PMRF range hardware, the computing power of the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC), and the high-speed data link connecting PMRF and MHPCC. The long-term goals include developing a plan for integration with other Navy programs. The capabilities identified and implemented in this effort will have extensive benefits to the Navy, ONR, DMSO (Defense Modeling and Simulation Office), Hawaii, and the ocean acoustics community in general. The Tomographic Imaging System will also lead to greater knowledge of the internal waves, internal tides, and internal temperature of the waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands.
