Wave Florence 120 kHz backscatter successive transits along 300/120, 0.5 nm SW of main array axis
14
Wave Florence pre-wave state 120 kHz backscatter successive transits along 300/120, 0.5 nm SW of main array axis
15
Wave Florence 1200 kHz backscatter successive transits along 300/120, 0.5 nm SW of main array axis
16
Wave Florence
22
Florence time/position diagram mean propagation speed 0.90 ms -1 Florence’s speed projected backward in time We project the measured locations of the wave backward in space/time using the wave speed determined from the slope of the wave’s x-t plot to get an idea of what/where the wave was before it was clearly a wave. The result is the pre-wave state indicated several slides previous to this. This is helping us to decide what to look for in the generation region.
