Experimental Measurements of High-Frequency Scattering from Sea Ice over Annual Cycles

Abstract

Our objectives for the proposed study of high-frequency scattering and reflection from sea iceare intended to address many of the open questions which exist for the acoustic interactionwith the complex water-ice interface and include: 1) addressing the real la"ck of quantitative,high-frequency experimental measurements (both mean levels and higher-order statistics,which are important, for"" example, for equalization in acoustic communications systems); and2) increasing our basic understanding of the geo-acoustic charac""teristics controlling highfrequencyacoustics of sea ice. These goals will be achieved through examination of existingliterature, c""ollection and analysis of data in well-controlled conditions, and by the use ofextended approximate or numerical scattering models."" Models of scattering and reflection willhave to adequately include the variety of properties of the various types of sea ice.
