Abstract:

It is now a widely held view that bubble clouds produced by breaking waves can contribute significantly to sea-surface backscatter over a broad range of frequencies. At the higher sea states, rersearchers have observed near-surface scatterers which are spatially and temporally discrete and exhibit high target strengths at relatively low frequencies (<1 kHz). It is our contention that this scattering may be the result of high void fraction bubble clouds subme...
