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 …

A new model for tidally generated internal solitons in the ocean is advanced, based on a
little-known asymptotic analytical solution to the weakly nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries …

During the two world wars, oceanographers studied both shallow-and deep-water acoustics.
But during the cold war, the research emphasis shifted abruptly to deep water, where the …

Nonlinear internal waves in shallow water have been shown to be effective ducts of acoustic
energy, through theory, numerical modeling, and experiment. To date, most work on such …

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

Simultaneous measurements of acoustic wave transmissions and a nonlinear internal wave
packet approaching an along-shelf acoustic path during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment …

During a 12-h period in the 2006 Shallow Water Experiment (SW06), binary phase shift
keying (BPSK) signals at the carrier frequencies of 813 and 1627 Hz were propagated over …

Fluctuations of sound intensity in the presence of moving nonlinear internal waves (NIWs)
are studied. Prior works revealed the existence of peaks in the spectrum of these fluctuations …
