Acoustical Effects of Internal Tides Acoustical Effects of Internal Tides on Shallow Water Propagation : an Overview of the Intimate96 Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of the experiment INTIMATE96, carried out in June 1996 on the continental shelf off the coast of Portugal and discusses the effects of internal tides on the acoustic propagation. A towed broadband acoustic source and a 4-hydrophone vertical array were used. Acoustic data were collected for 5 days, including legs where the source ship was moving and legs with the ship on station. Intensive environmental surveys (XBT, CDT, bottom and hull-mounted ADCP, thermistor chain, bathymetry, geoacoustic characteristics of the sediments) were also conducted. The central

Single-phone Source Tracking in a Variable Environment
Internal tides commonly occur along ocean coasts. They are internal waves driven by the usual tidal force and generated by scattering at a sharp bottom feature such as the shelf break. The internal tides are dramatic features with crests typically 10-30 km apart and wave heights of 20 m. On the ocean surface they cause only a gentle ripple about 10 cm high but they affect the shine of the surfa...

In the summer of 1996, an experiment was conducted off the coast of Portugal to study the effects of internal tides on sound propagation. This experiment—called INTIMATE '96 (Internal Tide Investigation by Means of Acoustic Tomography Experiment)—has provided a great deal of insight about the variability of pulse transmission over space and time. In contrast to a common view of shallow-water pr...

متن کاملEnhanced Predictions of Tides and Surges through Data Assimilation (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The regional waters in Singapore Strait are characterized by complex hydrodynamic phenomena as a result of the combined effect of three large water bodies viz. the South China Sea, the Andaman Sea, and the Java Sea. This leads to anomalies in water levels and generates residual currents. Numerical hydrodynamic models are generally used for predicting water levels in the ocean and seas. But thei...
