Abstract
High frequency acoustic backscattering systems are
being used in monostatic modes to evaluate the use of acoustic
techniques to detect and study a variety of fluid processes in
the oceanic environment. A short outline of those research
programs actively evaluating and using acoustic techniques is
presented, followed by a detailed review of this investigator's
program. This program uses a multifrequency high frequency
acoustic system to study a variety of processes including turbulent
mixing, air-sea interactions, internal waves, interleaving
water masses, natural particulate dispersion and distribution,
the dispersion of particulates associated with deep ocean disposal
of industrial chemical waste, and biological response to
a variety of stimulae including fluid motion, predators, and
oceanographic instrumentation. Graphic acoustic data records
of several of the above phenomena are described.
