Mooring Support for the Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE)
Abstract
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI, P.I. John Kemp) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO, P.I. Peter Worcester) propose to conduct the Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE). This study consists of a year-long experiment in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean during 2016–2017, preceded by a short pilot study during July-August 2015. The goal of the study is to understand the effects of changing Arctic conditions on low-frequency, deep-water acoustic propagation and on the low-frequency ambient noise field. WHOI will design and fabricate the moorings for the CANAPE and pilot study. Funds are budgeted for purchasing materials and supplies necessary to build the moorings and to participate in planning, deployment, and recovery cruises for the moorings. This is a collaborative effort between WHOI and Scripps, each submitting independent proposals with separate budgets.
