Bubbles and Acoustics Communications Experiment: The Acoustical and Physical Characterization of Bubble Plumes

Abstract

The long-term objectives are to study the role of bubble production and bubble distributions within high air void fraction whitecaps and sub-surface bubble plumes on acoustical scattering at the ocean surface and the generation of noise by bubbles. An additional goal is to relate bubble production and plume properties such as penetration depth and acoustical scattering strength to the state of the ocean surface wave field.
