Abstract

Wind blowing over the sea surface generates many dramatic effects. One of the most important effects is bubble plumes generated by breaking waves, which have major effects on high frequency acoustic propagation, sound speed profile and ambient noise due to the sound scattering and absorption properties of bubbles. On one hand, we will introduce several theoretical models of bubble plumes; on the other hand, we will propose how to calculate the acoustic signal attenuation and sound speed anomaly due to wind-generated bubble plumes. Simulation results will show the shallow water acoustic channel impulse response and sound speed anomaly with the effect of bubble plumes.
