Sound Propagation from the Continental Slope to the Continental Shelf - NPS and WHOI Moored Sensor Efforts

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. Our goals are: (1) to understand the variability and dynamics of the shelf-break current and its coupling to the adjacent slope-water circulation, and (2) to determine the effect of this variability on the propagation of sound from the continental slope to the continental shelf.
