Abstract

The Near Shore Acoustic Network Experiment (NSANE) was conducted at the Scripps Pier in May 1999 to ascertain the physical properties of the very shallow water and surf zone environments which enable or constrain acoustic communications. Results of the analysis of the experimental data will be presented focusing on the properties of the environment which are of particular relevance to the performance of acoustic communications systems. Communications channel characteristics such as multipath spread, coherence time, and channel outage and signal attenuation characteristics will be examined. These characteristics will be related to observable environmental conditions and their effect on the performance of acoustic communications systems will be discussed.
