Acoustical Oceanography


Scope

Concerned with the use of inverse acoustical techniques to determine physical and biological parameters and processes of the sea. Typical topics include:

1. Ocean internal waves and turbulence
2. Characterization of water mass boundaries
3. Mesoscale, gyre, and basin dynamics
4. Near surface ocean dynamics
5. Ocean sediments
6. Seafloor roughness
7. Small-scale ocean structure
8. Low-frequency sources and generating processes

James F. Lynch received a B.S. degree in physics at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ in 1972 and a Ph.D. in nuclear physics at the University of Texas at Austin in 1978. He is a Senior Scientist in the Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA. He is also Editor for the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering. His interests include acoustical oceanography and ocean acoustics, with special emphasis on acoustic tomography, shallow-water acoustics, and bottom boundary layer studies. Dr. Lynch is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of the American Geophysical Union, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and The Oceanography Society.
