Deep Water Ocean Acoustics (DWOP)

Abstract

A wealth of novel data on deep-water acoustic propagation and ambient noise has been collected in a wide variety of environments over the last few years with ONR support, enabled in part by the development at SIO of a Distributed Vertical Line Array (DVLA) receiver. A number of publications that either used data from the Philippine Sea experiments or addressed related issues appeared in a special issue of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America on Deep-water Ocean Acoustics for which Professor J. Colosi (NPS) and one of us (Worcester) were the Guest. We propose here to continue the processing and analysis of the data from all of these experiments and to prepare publications on the results, working with a variety of collaborators as appropriate. In addition, we propose to continue preparation of a monograph by Colosi and Worcester with the working title Ocean Sound Propagation Through the Stochastic Internal-Wave Field, for publication by Cambridge University Press (CUP).
