Seabed Characterization Experiment 2021
Abstract
The proposal is for funding for a research team from the Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington to deploy two Intensity Vector Autonomous Receiver (IVAR) systems from the R/V Neil Armstrong in June 2021, as part of the Sediment Characterization Experiment 2021 (SBCEX21). The primary goal of SBCEX21 concerns the study of acoustic propagation in fine-grained, muddy sediments within the New England mud patch (depth 80 m) and extending out from it into deeper, shelf-break waters.The APL-UW team will deploy two, Intensity Vector Autonomous Receiver (IVAR) systems (Fig. 1) from the R/V Neil Armstrong. One system (IVAR-1) will be at Position 1 within the SBCEX17 Mudpatch area as shown by the green rectangle (Fig. 2); here the depth is ~75 m.
