Outline Glider acoustics Combustive sound source inversions 3D effects of front and internal waves Papers in progress Preliminary Results James H. Miller and Gopu R. Potty
Hydrophone Mounted on Slocum Glider Results –Initial test worked well ~1/2 hour of data –Full test glider flew 200km over 14 days! –Undocumented software feature in Bioprobe caused early termination –Another test planned for this winter Towed configuration
