Biosketch
Jeffrey Simmen is the seventh Director in APL-UW's nearly 70-year history. His career has been linked closely to the U.S. Navy. For ten years he led the Office of Naval Research Ocean Acoustics Program where he created a program that balanced experiment and theory, and included the disciplines of oceanography, signal processing, physics, engineering, and applied mathematics.
Dr. Simmen graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a degree in applied mathematics, earned an M.S. from Cornell University in theoretical and applied mechanics, and a Ph.D. from Caltech in applied mathematics. He became APL-UW Director in July 2003.

The Asian Seas International Acoustics Experiment (ASIAEX) included two major field programs, one in the South China Sea and the other in the East China Sea (ECS). This paper presents an overview of research results from ASIAEX ECS conducted between May 28 and June 9, 2001. The primary emphasis of the field program was shallow-water acoustic propagation, focused on boundary interaction and geoacoustic inversion. The study area's central point was located at 29° 40.67'N, 126° 49.39'E, which is situated 500 km east of the Chinese coastline off Shanghai. The acoustic and supporting environmental measurements are summarized, along with research results to date, and references to papers addressing specific issues in more detail are given. |
