MSEAS-WAPE Acoustic Analysis and Forecasts for 19 Jul 0000Z to 20 Jul 0000Z 2024, Issued 17 Jul 2024

Special Product: Targeted Sections

We employ our MIT-MSEAS Wide Angle ParEq (MSEAS-WAPE) modeling system to forecast a set of acoustics transmission loss (TL) fields along targeted vertical sections (see map). The locations of the sections are selected based on our ocean forecasts, focusing on regions with significant sound speed ducts, sound speed gradients, or variability in these gradients. We forecast the TL fields and propagation loss curves for a 550 Hz source at 200 m depth (see maps), using the sound speed and density forecasts from our MIT-MSEAS ocean modeling system as inputs. Forecasts are provided every 12 hours.
