Environmental Support for High-Frequency Acoustic Experiments Conducted at the Quinault Range, April-May 1983

Abstract

Environmental data were gathered and analyzed that support the joint Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity, Naval Ocean Systems Center, Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment, and University of Washington/Applied Physics Laboratory high-frequency acoustic experiment. The experiment was conducted 17 km west of the Washington coast in the Quinault Range (49-m water depth). An objective of this project was to provide the high-resolution acoustic and environmental data required to verify and develop high-frequency bottom scattering models. These models are required for developing new concepts in the design of naval weapon systems.
