XXIV IUGG GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Perugia (Italy), July 2 - July 13, 2007
Servicio Naval de Investigación y Desarrollo (SENID)
– Naval Service of Research and Development –
Underwter Sound Division
Acoustic Systems Division
Mission: SENID’s general objective is to conduct Research and Development Projects
related to maritime interests.
Its two main areas of research are: Radio Propagation and Underwater Sound Propagation.
It is precisely through the latter area that SENID is mainly related to the International
Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans –IAPSO–.
Sound Propagation in a variable medium like the ocean, as well as its interaction with the
boundaries (sea-surface and seabed) and the biologic organisms, suspended particles,
bubbles, submarine vehicles, etc. that are present in its volume, is a relevant area of
research in Oceanography. Therefore, it turns out to be within the scope of Physical
Oceanography.
