The physics of deep inelastic scattering induced by atmospheric neutrinos of approximately 10 TeV energy is discussed. A 10/sup 9/ ton water detector at great depth in the ocean, utilizing acoustic signals from the secondary showers and muon, is investigated. Recent results from Brookhaven and Harvard on the sonic signature produced by particles in water are presented. This work suggests that the 10/sup 9/ ton detector is feasible, and that energy depositions in the laboratory as small as 10 GeV may eventually be observable by this technique.
