In 2001 the Office of Naval Research began a program to publish a selected monograph series in the field of underwater acoustics. The series publishes in-depth reviews and analysis on the state of understanding of the physics of sound in selected areas of research.The monograph series covers the most important topics in underwater sound in an in-depth, critical, scholarly, and comprehensive fashion. It is intended to provide researchers with an understanding of the physics of underwater sound, based on both theory and experiment. The discussion of important unanswered questions is encouraged. Topics of particular importance in the field are low-frequency sound in the deep ocean, shallow-water acoustics, and ambient noise.
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.
