Gravity; Measurement; EquatorAbstract
This report presents free air gravity values and computed free air anomalies obtained on an equatorial traverse from 09°00'E. to 37°56'W. It is the second of a series of reports presenting the gravity data to be used in deriving a "ground truth" calibration grid for comparison
with topographical details of the world oceans obtained by a radar altimeter in an earth satellite scheduled to fly
in 1974. A previous report (WHOI Technical Report #71-68) gave similar values taken on a traverse along the 150°W.
meridian from 62.9°S. to 57.5° N.

Horizontal ducting of sound by curved nonlinear internal gravity waves in the continental shelf areas
Lin, Ying-Tsong; McMahon, Kara G.; Lynch, James F.; Siegmann, William L. (Acoustical Society of America, 2013-01)The acoustic ducting effect by curved nonlinear gravity waves in shallow water is studied through idealized models in this paper. The internal wave ducts are three-dimensional, bounded vertically by the sea surface and ... -
Acoustic mode radiation from the termination of a truncated nonlinear internal gravity wave duct in a shallow ocean area
Lin, Ying-Tsong; Duda, Timothy F.; Lynch, James F. (Acoustical Society of America, 2009-10)Horizontal ducting of sound between short-wavelength nonlinear internal gravity waves in coastal environments has been reported in many theoretical and experimental studies. Important consequences arising at the open end ... -
A three-dimensional parabolic equation model of sound propagation using higher-order operator splitting and Padé approximants
Lin, Ying-Tsong; Collis, Jon M.; Duda, Timothy F. (Acoustical Society of America, 2012-10-08)An alternating direction implicit (ADI) three-dimensional fluid parabolic equation solution method with enhanced accuracy is presented. The method uses a square-root Helmholtz operator splitting algorithm that retains ...
