Abstract
A towed multifrequency acoustic backscattering system was used during the joint air-sea interaction experiment (JASIN) to detect the short period internal wave field which existed in the experiment area. The experiment was conducted from July–September 1978 in an area centered at 12.5°W 59°N. The data to be presented were obtained during the second phase of the experiment, which lasted from the latter part of August to mid-September. Graphic acoustic records indicating the nature of the internal wave field which was detected and three-dimensional plots revealing the depth variability of the mixed layer base as a function of time during two 24-h box tows will be presented. A possible mixing event was detected and will be discussed. [Work supported by NORDA.]
