The purpose of this PhD study is to estimate the range of distortion of acoustic waves in a shallow sea under various climate and weather conditions using a combination of oceanographic and acoustic modelling. The properties of underwater sound propagation are highly influenced by the marine physical environment. The direction and intensity of sound propagation is determined by the sound speed gradients in the water column, which in turn are dependent upon variations in temperature and salinity. The shallow seas are an extremely dynamic environment featuring complicated bottom topography, strong density fronts, eddies, filaments and other mesoscale features. This project will benefit from support from the Centre of Excellence in Naval Oceanographic Research and Education (CENORE) and its partners, including the Royal Navy’s Hydrography and Meteorology school (FOST HM), the UK Hydrographic Office, and the Met Office.
