High Frequency Acoustical Propagation and Scattering in Coastal Waters

Abstract

To learn about the physical processes controlling the propagation of high frequency acoustical signals; in particular to understand the relationship between the presences of bubble distributions, surface gravity waves and turbulence on sound propagation. A second long-term goal is to model these processes to improve our understanding and to enhance the predictive capabilities
