China found giant ‘chimneys’ in deep water that could impact submarine warfare
Chinese researchers have mapped how energy from surface wind surges thousands of metres into the seabed, revealing massive underwater conduits they called “inertial chimneys”. The discovery, based on data collected by a US-funded ocean sensor array off the east coast of Japan, coupled with future long-term underwater monitoring, can provide underwater acoustic environmental support for marine detection and communication, the team said. The scien…
Chinese scientists have discovered energy pathways running from the sea surface down to depths of thousands of meters, opening up prospects for improving underwater acoustic detection and communication capabilities.
A team from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences mapped how the energy of the surface wind reaches the seabed through structures that it called “squalls of inertia.” The finding could help to understand the underwater acoustic environment, although the reported information does not detail its operational effects or a specific military application.
