Analysis of a signal starting time estimator based on the Page test statistic
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)The time of the most recent reset to zero of the Page test statistic is proposed as an estimator of the starting time of a signal. The probability mass function of the estimator is determined analytically subject to a ... -
Interpretation and fusion of sonar images using evidential reasoning
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)A method and system architecture for automatic interpretation and fusion of multiple sonar images is proposed. The interpretation of a sonar image consists of the creation of a symbolic geographical map indicating the ... -
Deduction fo synthetic temperature profiles from SST observations in the Iceland-Faeroe frontal region
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/01)Subsurface temperature and sound speed profiles are generated from satellite SST observations and -
Comparison of satellite-retrieved sea-surface temperatures with drifter and ship-borne measurements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/01)Sea-surface temperatures (SST) retrieved from satellite imagery are compared with in-situ measured data. The satellite data are from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) of the series of NOAA satellites, ... -
On the predictability of subsurface sound speed from satellite-measured sea-surface temperature in the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/01)The report investigates the extent to which subsurface sound speed may be determined from satellitemeasured -
Analysis of Swallow float data at SACLANTCEN: Software notes for future use and developments
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)A Swallow float is as a neutrally buoyant, freely drifting unit which is deployed in deep water, equipped with one pressure sensor (hydrophone) and three orthogonal particle velocity sensors (geophones) to measure acoustic ... -
On the applicability of satellite-borne SAR imagery to coastal oceanography
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images have been acquired from the first European Space Agency (ESA) remote sensing satellite ERS- 1. The mesoscale feature images are from Norwegian coastal waters and the Mediterranean (Elba ... -
Drifter observations in the Nordic Seas (1991-1995) data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)During the period June 1991 to August 1993, 107 Argos tracked drifters drogued to 15 m depth were released in the Nordic seas (or Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian [GIN] sea) to study the variability of the near-surface circulation ... -
Transmission-loss characteristics and geoacoustic model for an outer Albanian continental shelf platform in the south-east Adriatic sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/03)Transmission-loss experiments have been canied out on the outer Albanian Shelf. The acoustic measurements were performed together with a combined oceanographic and geological-geophysical survey which identified the different ... -
Planning tools for maritime operations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/06)The Commander Allied Naval Forces Southern Europe (COMNAVSOUTH) tasked SACLANT Undersea Research Centre to conduct a study to optimize the employment of limited ASW assets in the protection of shipping in the Western ... -
Sub-sea floor buried reflectors imaged by low frequency active sonar
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/06)Low Frequency Active Sonar (LFAS) utilizes low-frequency acoustic -
Source localization in shallow water using multi-frequency processing of shot data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/07)Multi-frequency processing methods are applied to real data generated by explosives to examine the -
Geoacoustic models for selected shallow water areas
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/07)This report summarizes recent work on characterization of shallow water -
Finite difference modelling of scattering by objects in the seabed
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/07)In this report we describe the theory and some implementation issues of a finite difference code used at SACLANT Centre. In particular, we consider the modelling of attenuation and the excitation of a remote incident field ... -
The joint SACLANTCEN/USA towed vertically directive source - TVDS
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/07)This report is the text of a paper presented at Undersea Defence Technology, Cannes, 1995 (UDT 95). It outlines the development of the Towed Vertically Directive Source (TVDS) and the associated ship-handling and winching ... -
A method for the three-dimensional reconstruction of underwater objects
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/10)This report describes a method to estimate the three-dimensional aspects of underwater objects using a sequence of sonar images. The data are recorded by a sector scanning sonar, carried by an underwater vehicle which ... -
Celtic Duet - a joint SACLANTCEN/NRL shallow-water sea trial in Celtic Sea during July 1992: data summary

Active signal detection in shallow water using the Page test
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/11)The use of active sonar in shallow water results in received echoes that may be considerably spread in time compared to the transmitted wave form. The duration and structure of the spreading and the time of occurrence of ... -
