High-Frequency Broadband Acoustic Scattering from Temperature and Salinity Microstructure: From Non-Linear Internal Waves to Estuarine Plumes
Abstract
LONG-TERM GOALS. To understand high-frequency broadband acoustic backscattering from small-scale physical processes, such as internal waves, turbulence, and microstructure, in shallow, stratified coastal waters. OBJECTIVES. The primary objective of the proposed research is to measure high-frequency broadband acoustic backscattering from temperature and salinity microstructure. Testing the validity of existing scattering models and the initial development of new, and/or extension of existing, simple physicsbased scattering models is a secondary objective of this work.
