An Examination of 3D, Broadband Acoustic Propagation Physics in a Littoral Ocean Environment - an Extension to an ONR Primer Field Study in the Mid-Atlantic Bight

Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to improve our understanding of acoustic propagation in complicated littoral zones near shelf breaks. Of particular interest to me are the effects of the continental slope, shelf break front, and internal soliton waves on the propagation of broadband signals and the significance of 3-D azimuthal (out-of-plane) coupling.
