Nonlinear internal waves in the ocean are discussed (a) from the standpoint of soliton theory
and (b) from the viewpoint of experimental measurements. First, theoretical models for …

The well-known Garrett and Munk description of the internal wave spectrum synthesizes
many observations into a spectral model that reproduces the general features of the mid …

Broadband acoustic data (30–160 Hz) from the SWARM'95 experiment are analyzed to
investigate acoustic signal variability in the presence of ocean internal waves. Temporal …

Observations are presented of nonlinear internal waves on the outer New England
continental shelf during the summer Shelfbreak Primer study conducted between July 26 …

The short time scale (minutes) and azimuthal dependence of sound wave propagation in
shallow water regions due to internal waves is examined. Results from the shallow water …

Contour plots of underwater acoustic intensity, mapped in range and frequency, often exhibit
striations. It has been claimed that a scalar parameter 'beta', defined in terms of the slope of …

In order to understand the fluctuations imposed upon low frequency (50 to 500 Hz) acoustic
signals due to coastal internal waves, a large multilaboratory, multidisciplinary experiment …

A theory and experimental results for sound propagation through an anisotropic shallow
water environment are presented to examine the frequency dependence of the scintillation …

Sound at 85 to 450 Hz propagating in approximately 80-m depth water from fixed sources to
a joint horizontal/vertical line array (HLA/VLA) is analyzed. The data are from a continental …

This paper applies the mode coupling equation to calculate the mode-coupling matrix for
nonlinear internal waves appearing as a train of solitons. The calculation is applied to an …
