Ocean Acoustics and Dynamics Lab: Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers for Task Force Ocean
Abstract
Abstract: Dr. Robert Headrick, Task Force Ocean Program ManagerFunding is requested to replace one lost and repair one damaged Acous,tic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) from the Task Force Ocean (TFO) New England Seamounts Experiments. These instruments will be use,d for the Seamounts 2023 pilot experiment and 2024 main experiment along with other moored Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) se,nsors to quantify the role of advection in determining the space/time scales of the sound speed field in this dynamic Gulf Stream/Se,amount setting. This combination of acoustic and oceanographic data collection will help the TFO address one of its fundamental hypo,theses namely, evaluate the information needed for predicting 4-d acoustic arrival patterns (Impulse Response) in the dynamic Gulf S,tream over the New England Seamounts, and evaluate the impacts upon signal detection, localization and tracking.
