GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATION OF ARCTIC ICE PACK.

Experiments were made on shallow-water sound propagation on the Arctic continental shelf. The waves were successfully interpreted in terms of normal-mode theory for an ice-water-sediment acoustic system. Current measurements made on Station Alpha in the central Arctic Ocean show a clockwise spiral w...

Description
Summary:Experiments were made on shallow-water sound propagation on the Arctic continental shelf. The waves were successfully interpreted in terms of normal-mode theory for an ice-water-sediment acoustic system. Current measurements made on Station Alpha in the central Arctic Ocean show a clockwise spiral which is not as pronounced as the Ekman spiral for homogeneous water. (Author)
