An experiment was carried out in 1996-97 at a location in theMid-Atlantic Bight, 80 miles southeast of Montauk Point, Long Island,and 60 miles south of Martha's Vinyard.There were two 'Primer' programs which were closely related to the CMOProgram and involved ocean acoustics on the shelf. These acousticsprograms were the Synthetic Aperture Sonar Volume Coherence primer,and the Sound Propagation from the Continental Slope to theContinental Shelf primer.All of these programs are sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.The following institutions are involved in the program: Johns HopkinsUniversity Applied Physics Lab, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution,University of California Santa Barbara, Oregon State University,University of Washington Applied Physics Lab, Bedford Institute ofOceanography, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Texas A&M University,University of Connecticut, and Dalhousie University.For more information, see the CMO website at University of WashingtonApplied Physics Laboratory:'http://wavelet.apl.washington.edu/CMO/'[This project summary was derived from the CMO website at theUniversity of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory.]
