Abstract
Acoustic data were collected on a single hydrophone towed by a Webb Slocum glider deployed by Rutgers University, during the shallow water experiment (SW06), on the continental shelf, of New Jersey. The geometry of the experiment provided for adequate recording of the 224 and 400 Hz tomography sources. A follow-up study of the New Jersey Tuckerton Field Station provided a rudimentary noise analysis showing the glider's capabilities as an acoustic receiving platform. The glider's saw-tooth glide profile allows for vertical sampling of the water column with periodic surfaces for GPS fixes and data transfer via satellite phone. The glider provides a low-noise and low-speed platform, potentially enabling detection of low level signals. [Work sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.]
