| Popis: |
A network of sound sources, hydrophone arrays and physical oceanography and biological survey equipment was established at the southern edge of the New England Shelf in May 2021 to investigate how the oceanic processes at shelfbreak regions affect underwater sound propagation. The ocean processes of particular interest include shelfbreak fronts, shelf water streamers, thermohaline intrusions, and internal waves along with other significant marine geological features and biological factors, such as seafloor slopes, submarine canyons, variable seabed properties, and fish schooling and shoaling. With fixed propagation paths, acoustic fluctuations can be correlated with environmental variations between the network nodes. The temporal scale of the acoustic measurements ranges from minutes to weeks, and the spatial coverage is up to 20–30 km. Adaptive sampling and tracking of acoustic sensitivity “hot spots” was also conducted during the experiment to assist real-time joint ocean acoustics and circulation modeling. This presentation will review the design concept of this ocean acoustic network experiment and provide an overview the preliminary results. [Work supported by the Office of Naval Research.] |
