Summary The proposed research for FY12-14 has two focuses: The first is to continue and complete the synthesize of the acoustic results from three transmission experiments, ASIAEX, WISE and NLIWI, all carried out in the vicinity of the Northeastern South China Sea (NE SCS) shelfbreak, to form a knowledge base on the dependence of the signal fluctuations on the locale, orientation, range and type and strength of nonlinear internal waves. The second, in collaboration with Taiwan scientists, is to jointly plan and execute a pilot field study consisting of systematic, concurrent acoustic propagation, bottom/sub-bottom profiling, and oceanographic measurements to study the effects of the large sand dunes, and the combined effects of the sand dunes and nonlinear internal waves, on sound transmissions over the upper slope of the NESCS.
