A Compendium of Environmental Data Collected During the Southwest Florida Shallow-Water Acoustic Sea Test
1991
Gomes, B. R. | Bucca, P. J. | Null, J. M.
During 14-20 June 1991, an active acoustics exercise was conducted under the auspices of the Program Executive Officer of the Air, ASW, Assault and Special Mission Programs office. This exercise was located on the continental shelf, slope and in the basin between the Florida Keys and St. Petersburg, Florida. The objective of this mission is to make noise, reverberation and transmission loss measurements using fully calibrated sources, receivers, and recording devices. This data set is intended to support the validation of candidate shallow-water transmission loss and reverberation models for use in the development of next generation airborne ASW sensor systems. To adequately interpret the exercise results and to support the modeling effort, a robust suite of supporting environmental measurements were made aboard the research vessel NADC-38, owned by the Naval Air Development Center (NADC). These measurements include a depiction of the sound speed structure, bathymetry, meteorological conditions, and navigation along 11 projector tow tracks and at 3 drifting ambient noise and 4 reverberation sites. This technical note provides a brief description of the oceanographic and geological structure in the exercise area followed by a compendium of the collected data.
