Sound propagation in the Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb
View through CrossRef
The Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb is a natural constriction between the highly saline Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden (Indian Ocean). The merging of these two distinct water masses in the Straits results in a highly stratified sound-speed profile consisting of a high sound-speed layer overlying a low speed layer. A sound propagation experiment utilizing shots detonated at 18 m was conducted across the Straits along a relatively flat sandy bottom with an average water depth of 60 m. Results are compared with modeling predictions using the Fast Field Program (FFP).
