Three-Dimensional Scale-Model Tank Experiment of the Hudson Canyon Region.

摘要

The long-term scientific goal of this project is to advance understanding of three-dimensional (3D) acoustic propagation in range-dependent ocean waveguides by studying propagation in a scale-model laboratory environment. The objective of this work is to generate high quality acoustic data, measured in the laboratory, that will (1) provide a benchmark standard for 3D numerical models currently being developed, (2) allow researchers to carefully investigate 3D acoustic propagation in a controlled waveguide, and (3) assist ONR in planning for future experiments in ocean environments with slopes and canyons.
