The instrumentation system consisted of seven octavely nested four-wavelength acoustic antennas covering the above frequency range and a Video Cassette recorder-based subsurface recording system that carried out a programmed sequence of recordings. This report documents a description of the experiment and its results. The purpose of the experiment was the initial field test of a deployable acoustic monitoring system (DAMS). The success of the experiment made available a data set that allowed the examination of the vertical spatial structure of the acoustic ambient of the location. While there were aspects of the data unique to the location, the bulk of the information appears to apply to the more-generic problem of characterizing the directional spectra resulting from a sea surface sound source structure.
