Effects of Climate Change and Anthropogenic Ocean Acidification on Underwater Acoustic Communications
Abstract—Global climate change is a widely accepted phenomenon and it is well understood that it is also leading to changes in the oceanic conditions. Increased industrial activities have also led to anthropogenic ocean acidification, the effects of which, on marine ecosystems, is a vigorously inves...
