Abstract
This presentation focuses on the effects of a time-varying sea surface and bubble clouds due to breaking waves on the propagation of sound in the surf zone. The rough sea surface generates caustics corresponding to Bragg diffraction due to the focusing of sound by the rough surface as described by the specular point method. A comparison with experimental data taken by Grant Deane is presented. Time evolution of bubble clouds in the surf zone is modeled by the algorithms developed by Svein Vagle, David Farmer, and Grant Deane. Bubbles in the surf zone alter both the attenuation of sound and the sound-velocity profile in the ocean. [Work supported by Codes 321OE and 32MIW of the ONR.]
