Nonlinear Internal Waves and Coastal Ocean Acoustics: Are We There Yet?

Monday, November 9, 2015 1:00 p.m. in RLM 11.204 Dr. James F. Lynch Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, Massachusetts http://www.whoi.edu Chinese experiments in the late 1980’s-90’s showed that the interaction of low frequency (10-1000 Hz) sound with nonlinear coastal internal waves (soliton trains) could cause a 40 dB drop in sound intensity due to scattering.…
