Abstract

A series of at‐sea tests has established unequivocally that the presence of a monomolecular surface film results in a pronounced reduction of ambient noise beneath the film. This reduction was observed over the wide range of surface conditions associated with sea states 1–6. Possible mechanisms through which the film affects the underlying ambient noise field are explored. [Work supported by DARPA and ONT.]
