Ocean Observatories, Ocean Acoustic Tomography, Ambient Sound in the Ocean, Atmospheric and Ionospheric Tomography

Bruce Howe's expertise is in ocean acoustic tomography. Recent research includes the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) and North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory (NPAL) projects studying large-scale ocean variability, acoustic propagation over long ranges, and ocean ambient sound. Other current interests are ocean observatories, specifically the NSF ORION program and the NEPTUNE regional cabled observatory project focused on the Juan de Fuca Plate (organization, power systems, moored profiler systems), and the integration of acoustics into these observatories. Dr. Howe has also participated in the development of ionospheric observing systems using GPS signals in a tomography mode.

In summer 2008 Dr. Howe became a Professor in the Ocean and Resources Engineering Department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
