Modeling, characterizing, and predicting effects of internal gravity waves on acoustic propagation on basin to global scales

Abstract

Task Force Ocean (TFO) seeks to further physical and acoustical characterization of the ocean while creating working relationships" between physical and acoustical oceanographic researchers,both academic and industry, and in the operational Navy. The main goal of this collaborative crossdisciplinary effort (Applied Research in Acoustics LLC (ARiA), Applied Ocean Sciences (AOS), Florida State University (FSU), University of Michigan (U-M), University of Southern Mississippi (USM), and Naval Research Laboratory Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC)) is to model, characterize, and predict the effects of internal gravity waves on acoustic propagation on basin toglobal scales. FSU will (a) quantify the impact of horizontal and vertical resolution on the representation of internal gravity waves and on sea surface height, mean circulation, and eddies in simulations with and without tides and (b) incorporate feedback from" the other teams on how to improve internal wave damping and on how to maintain realistic tidal internal waves in thesimulations.
