Summary Acoustic signal transmission and ambient noise time series were measured in the northeastern South China Sea basin for a period of one year. The proposed research for FY10-11 is to carry out modeling analyses including model-data comparisons to understand and quantify the effects of the transbasin nonlinear internal waves on the signal intensity level, and to elucidate and calibrate the statistical relations of shipping density and wind events to the ambient noise level. Additionally in FY11, it is proposed that the synthesis of the acoustic results from three different transmission experiments in vicinity of the shelfbreak of the same region be initiated.
