This project is a one-year study to begin to establish mulit-channel seismic profiling as a tool for physical oceanography. The PI will investigate what oceanographic features are reflective at low frequencies and to acquire the first joint physical oceanographic and seismic reflection data set. Existing datasets in the North Atlantic will also be used to determine whether water column reflections exist in those data sets. Broader Impacts: This study will develop a new approach for imaging thermohaline structure in the ocean by bringing ideas, tools and people from a different discipline into physical oceanography. The study will also contribute to the education of students and a postdoc including a woman and a minority.

该项目是一项为期一年的研究，旨在开始建立多道地震剖面作为物理海洋学的工具。 PI 将研究哪些海洋学特征在低频下具有反射性，并获取第一个联合物理海洋学和地震反射数据集。 北大西洋的现有数据集也将用于确定这些数据集中是否存在水柱反射。更广泛的影响：这项研究将通过将不同学科的想法、工具和人员带入物理海洋学中，开发一种对海洋温盐结构进行成像的新方法。该研究还将有助于学生和博士后（包括一名女性和少数族裔）的教育。
