Abstract:
In this report we present results of a sound propagation modeling study off the
coast of Newport, OR. Preliminary acoustic experimental data was also collected by an
underwater glider equipped with a hydrophone to measure sound levels in a short transect
perpendicular to the coast and away from a sound source. A propagation model was used
to simulate the arrivals recorded by the glider’s hydrophone and results were compared to
the experimental data. Optimal experimental setup for future measurements using a glider
is suggested.
