Project overview:
Increased understanding of sound's interaction with the real ocean
environment is sought
via theoretical and experimental pursuits. Specifically, we seek to
further understand the effects of bubbles and bubble clouds on sound
propagation, with practical applications in shallow-water sonar and
minehunting. Bubbles and bubble clouds are genereated in the near surface
layer of the ocean due to both natural processes and human activities.
Common examples are breaking waves, biologics and ship wakes.
