Quantitative High-frequency Acoustic Volume Scattering from Well-characterized Bubble Clouds

Abstract

Our long-range goal is to better understand the physics of acoustic scattering from naturally occurring bubble clouds, and to apply this knowledge to both the acoustic remote sensing of bubble populations in littoral and pelagic waters and the modeling and prediction of sonar performance for systems that operate in the near-surface environment. For example, within the near-surface environment, scattering from bubbles often dominates the reverberation for high-frequency O(10) kHz sonar systems.
