Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-00508, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Myers, Paul (University of Alberta), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : The proposed work aims to provide environmental parameters to acoustic models which will ultimately be_x000D_
required at operational timescales. It is thought that other Arctic modelling research will also benefit. Active_x000D_
and passive acoustic models require accurate representation of the ice profile which ASL will be providing by_x000D_
combined use of Radarsat SAR and upward looking sonar data. Models also require the physical oceanographic_x000D_
conditions influencing the density structure and mobility of the water column: temperature, salinity and_x000D_
currents. Operationally these parameters can only be provided Arctic wide via models._x000D_
The challenge for this work is to investigate model capabilities and application to acoustic requirements at a_x000D_
shallow water choke point. Here it is likely that high resolution model results will be necessary to represent_x000D_
sufficiently accurately the physical ocean parameters across distances as small as 2-3 km. It is this scale, and_x000D_
ability of the models to meet this requirement, that is to be investigated through this work., program purpose french : The proposed work aims to provide environmental parameters to acoustic models which will ultimately be_x000D_
