Impact of uncertain environmental knowledge on the shallow-water transfer function
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/12)It is assumed that the acoustic channel can be modeled as a linear time-invariant space-variant filter. In this case, from linear systems theory, it is known that the filter output, that is the predicted source signal ... -
Improvements to data networks in support of REA during Generic Oceanographic Array Technology (GOATS) 98
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/05) -
Impulse response of a layered bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1967/01)Numerical methods are used for the Fourier inversion of the frequency-dependent loss transfer function. Because of the non-zero finite values of the integrand for an infinite high frequency, the asymptotic value is subtracted ... -
In-situ acoustic received level measurements with glider based reactive behaviour
(CMRE, 2019/06)Buoyancy-driven underwater gliders are typically employed to sample the water column environment in the ocean [1]. As one of the efforts of extending the capabilities of traditional underwater gliders, CMRE has been working ... -
Incidence du bruit acoustique de thoniers ligneurs et senneurs français sur leurs performances de peche
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1985/01)Les auteurs présentents quelques expertises acoustiques provenant de deux études réalisées par le GERBAM: - la première, sur 95 thoniers ligneurs pratiquant la pêche du germon (Thunnus alalunga), -la second, sur 18 thoniers ... -
Incoherent sub-band averaging for improved target detection and Doppler estimation in linearly frequency modulated continuous active sonar
(CMRE, 2019/05)Linear frequency modulated (LFM) continuous active sonar (CAS) waveforms show promise for use in target tracking given that waveforms can be split into sub-waveforms (sub-bands), thereby increasing the target refresh rate. ... -
Increasing the operational safety of autonomous underwater vehicles using the JANUS communication standard
(CMRE, 2019/05)Increasing the operational safety of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is necessary to fully explore their potential. Currently, AUV operations are limited by several constrains including the need to guarantee no ... -
Influence of background-noise spatial coherence on high-resolution passive method
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)New signal processing methods for passive listening have appeared recently : they are called "high resolution" methods because they have theoretically a better resolving power than conventional or adaptive beamforming . ... -
Influence of internal waves on sound propagation in the SOFAR channel
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)In this paper theoretical investigations due to the influence of internal waves to sound propagation in the SOFAR-channel are presented. The undisturbed acoustic field is described by a normal-mode model. The disturbance ... -
Information and source quality ontology in support of maritime situational awareness
(CMRE, 2019/05)To support situation awareness, the benefit of using a variety of sources is undeniable although it brings additional challenges related to possible conflicting information, heterogeneity in data formats, semantics, ... -
Infrared detection of marine mammals
(NURC, 2005/12)An infrared (IR) binocular, designed for in-the-field military applications, was tested using in situ marine mammals during the Mar Ligure Joint Experiment 2003 (MLJX03) that took place in August-September 2003 onboard the ... -
Instrumentation for crosshole geoacoustic measurements in unconsolidated sediments
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1994/06)Research tools are described that enable direct measurements of sediment properties as a function of depth in unconsolidat,ed sediments. The first tool is a hole making device that sits on the sea floor and utilizes pneumatic ... -
Intensity and phase fluctuations in low-frequency acoustic transmission through internal waves
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10) -
Intensity at caustics
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)The classical divergence expressions predict an infinite intensity at caustics. This infinite intensity is a fundamental limitation of geometrical acoustics (ray theory). The intensity at a caustic is of primary concern ... -
Intensity calculations along a single ray
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1974/02)A method is presented for the calculation of sound intensity using only one ray. The sound-velocity profile is assumed to be continuous up to the second derivative and it is supposed that the ray equations are solved ... -

(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)A method is presented for the calculation of sound intensity using only one ray. The sound velocity profile is assumed to be continuous up to the second derivative and it is supposed that the ray equations are solved ... -
Intensity moments of underwater sound scattered by a Gaussian spectrum corrugated surface: measurements and comparison with a catastrophe theory approximation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)An underwater forward-scattering investigation was undertaken with random rough corrugated pressure release surface manufactured out of Styrofoam. Measured wavefields associated with the reflection caustics agree with ... -
Intensity-range relations for shallow-water sound propagation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1976/04)Convincing experimental evidence is presented to show that various "decay laws" for the decrease of sound intensity with increasing range can give high-quality representation for shallow water data. However, while a sequence ... -
Interactive tools for the exploration and analysis of multibeam and other seafloor acoustic data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The Ocean Mapping Group has developed a full suite of software tools for the real-time or near real-time display, editing, quality control, interpretation and visualization of multibeam sonar data. The combination of ... -
Interface wave studies on the Ligurian shelf usingan OBS array: experimental results and propagation models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)Seismic waves travelling in the water/sediment or subbottom sediment/sediment interface have been the subject of considerable interest in recent years. Experiments have confirmed the existence of interface waves in different ...
