This presentation by URI ocean engineering Assistant Professor Lora Van Uffelen is part of the speaker series for EGR 201 Seminar in Naval Science and Technology.

Warming surface waters from reduction in ice cover and deepening of the Pacific Winter Water layer in the Western Arctic have contributed to the formation of the Beaufort Duct, a subsurface duct which enables sound propagation to long ranges.

Two Seaglider Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) were deployed in the Arctic as part of the coordinating Canada Basin Acoustic Glider Experiment, led by URI and the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington. The purpose was to collect information on the variability of the sound propagation environment and to understand how the acoustic signals can be used by vehicles for localization and for studying acoustic propagation at long ranges.

This work was funded by the Office of Naval Research.
