Concurrent Physical and Acoustical Observations of the Upper-Ocean
Abstract
The rapid evolution of the physical properties of the upper ocean expected in regions with strong submesoscale features can lead to complex acoustic propagation effects. However, limited in-situ observations of this rapid evolution make it unclear how to adequatel y parametrize these physical properties of the upper ocean based on the environmental variables. Hence, we propose a three year coll aborative research effort between Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD and Georgia Tech to quantify the modulation of sound spe ed, sound attenuation, and ambient soundscape caused by surface processes strongly modulated by these submesoscale features using co ncurrent physical and acoustical observations of these spatio-temporal modulations obtained from a combination of instrumented auton omous vehicles (surface and aerial) and ship-based observations.This abstract is publicly releasable.
