Extended Analysis of the PhilSeal0 Data Set from the Western Tropical Pacific and Transitioning Results to the Operational Navy
Abstract
Abstract The ONR North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory (NPAL) deep-water acoustic propagation experiments in the Philippine Sea (DWAPS) were conducted during 2009-2011 to investigate deep-water acoustic propagation and ambient noise in the deep sea. There was an engineering test in 2009, pilot study with just two moorings in 2010, and the full-on experiment with seven deep-sea moorings and extensive shipboard observations during 2011. While primarily targeted at understanding the acoustics, the moorings supported a densely-instrumented environmental array as well sensing currents, temperature, and salinity. Several works by individual investigators have been completed and published in a special issue of the]. Acoust Soc. Am., 34, 2013. Much work still remains to be done however to produce results across disciplines including how the environmental variability at all scales, from internal waves to the mesoscale eddies, impacts the acoustic propagation. This proposal is to facilitate those analyses and transition the results to the operational Navy.
