This paper describes the phenomenon of cancellation of opposing acoustic energy flows observed in an oceanic waveguide. One of the flows is a vertical (or horizontal) energy flow of dynamic underwater ambient noise, and the other (opposing) one is a vertical (or horizontal) energy flow from a local source. Results of a field experiment in the deep ocean are presented which show that the above-mentioned phenomenon leads to the destruction of coherence between the vertical and horizontal components of the particle velocity and pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
