In its relentless pursuit of further knowledge, science tends to
compartmentalize. Over the years the pursuit of What might be
called geophysical acoustics of the sea-surface has languished.
This has occured even through there are well-developed and active
research programs in underwater acoustics, ocean hydrodynamics,
cloud and precipitation physics, and ice mechanics - to name a few
- as well as a history of engineering expertise built on these
scientific fields. It remained to create a convergence, a dialogue
across disciplines, of mutual benefit. The central theme of the
Lerici workshop, perhaps overly simplified, was 'What are the
mechanisms causing ambient noise at the upper surface of the
ocean?' What could hydrodynamicists contribute to a better
understanding of breaking wave dynamics, bubble production, ocean
wave dynamics, or near-surface turbulence for the benefit of the
underwater acoustics community? What further insights could fluid
dynamicists gain by including acoustic measurements in their
repertoire of instrumentation? While every attendee will have his
or her percep tions of details, it was universally agreed that a
valuable step had been taken to bring together two mature
disciplines and that significant co-operative studies would
undoubtedly follow. The scope of the workshop was enlarged beyond
its original intent to also include the question of ice-noise
generation. The success of this decision can be seen in high
quality of the presentations. the contribution of its disciples in
the other workshop discussions and the heightened awareness and
interest of we other novices."
