Continuing Development of Doppler Sonar Systems

Abstract

Novel acoustic Doppler sensing techniques are an integral part of improved observational and eventually predictive capability of the complex dynamical processes that govern upper ocean sound speed, heat content, air sea fluxes, and turbulent mixing. With previous DURIP funding, we have built and tested an initial prototype of a new Towed Phased Array Doppler Sonar system, which was used for the first time in the NORSE 2022 fieldwork. With previous DURIP funding we have also built and installed a novel Hydrographic Doppler Sonar System on the R/V Revelle. Here we proposed to continue development of both systems, including integration of next generation technology and techniques.
