Abstract

During the Shallow Water 2006 experiment, simultaneous measurements were made of the sound speed structure associated with nonlinear internal waves and acoustic propagation at frequencies of 2–10 kHz over a 1 km path. The internal waves were measured by a towed CTD chain in order to get high resolution. These measurements were coordinated so that the nonlinear waves can be interpolated onto the acoustic path, allowing predictions of their effects on the acoustics. An internal wave train was measured that passed the acoustic path on August 13. When the wave train was in between the sound source and receiver, distinctive arrival time oscillations on three acoustic paths were measured, which are all rays having an upper turning point. Using the CTD chain data, a deterministic explanation is given to the arrival time oscillations.
