Alongshelf 2- along 280 m isobath- possible mud volcanoes: Acoustic TL Prediction

Section Location

 

 

 

This section is interesting for acoustic propagation over a complex bathymetry profile. At specific frequencies, simulations show some interesting phenomena, such as the near bottom sound channel (see the second columns of 600 Hz and 900 Hz case), with some special combinations of frequency, propagation direction, and water column variability.
