This cruise is part of the ONR Task Force Ocean Department Research Initiative. The experiment is meant to characterize the highly variable acoustic propagation that is observed in the area around the Atlantis II seamounts The variability is manifested in the acoustic impulse responses and the ambient soundscape and is caused by oceanographic and atmospheric processes as well as complex seafloor topography.
