Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea Data and Model Base Report
Abstract
The Long Range Acoustic Propagation Project (LRAPP) of the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA) has sponsored a series of intensive measurement exercises in various ocean areas. In addition, LRAPP has sponsored an extensive program of acoustic model development and evaluation, used for analysis and systems development applications as well as fleet operational performance prediction. The Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean Pre-assessment was carried out during the CHURCH STROKE III exercise planning process and interaction with the exercise principal investigators provided a unique opportunity to: IDENTIFY critical environmental data requirements; Identify acoustic characteristics unique to the exercise area; Identify special modeling requirements; and ESTABLISH the key technical issues for the planned experiments. This volume, the first of three reports which comprise the Gulf of Mexico/Caribbean Sea Pre-assessment, documents the existing data base available for upcoming CHURCH STROKE III measurement areas including; physical environmental data; acoustic data; and models available.
