Description:
The Asian Seas International Acoustics Experiment (ASIAEX) included two major field programs, one in the South China Sea (SCS) and the other in the East China Sea (ECS). This paper summarizes results from the work conducted during April and May 2000 and 2001 over the continental shelf and slope in the northeastern South China Sea, just east of Dongsha Island (Pratis Reef). The primary emphasis of the field program was on water-column variability and its impact on acoustic propagation loss. The reader is steered to the appropriate paper within this Special Issue when more information on a specific topic is desired.
Description:
The planning,
execution, and analysis of this work was funded by the
U.S. Office of Naval Research Ocean Acoustics and Physical
Oceanography Programs. Significant support was also made by
the National Science Council of Taiwan.
