Reverberation suppression
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/05)We propose a processing methodology for shallow-water reverberation -
Scattering from a random interface
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)The problem of scattering from a random interface separating two fluids with different densities and sound speeds is considered. The method is to write coupled integral equations in coordinate space connecting the surface ... -
Separability of scattering and reflection parameters in reverberation inversion
(NURC, 2007/11)A premise of reverberation inversion is that one can separate geoacoustic reflection properties from scattering properties since their effects on reverberation are distinguishable. Some doubt has been cast on this premise ... -
Separability of seabed reflection and scattering properties in reverberation inversion
(NURC, 2007/02)Separation of scattering properties (Lambert's mu) from reflection properties (the reflection loss angle derivative alpha) presents difficulties in the geoacoustic inversion of long range reverberation in isovelocity ... -
Single mode excitation, attenuation and backscatter in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/10)Normal mode theory is used to illustrate that a vertical array of weighted sources driven in an -
Some acoustic effects of internal macrostructure
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Some recent experimental developments relating to internal oceanographic- acoustic interactions are reviewed. Besides amplitude and phase fluctuations, a major concern is scattering into shadow regions. Associated oceanographic ... -
Tank measurements of elastic scattering by a resin-filled fiberglass spherical shell
(NURC, 2007/12)Acoustic elastic scattering measurements were conducted in a tank on a 6cm radius fibreglass spherical shell filled with a low-shear-speed epoxy resin. Preliminary measurements were conducted also on the void shell before ... -
The effect of a layer of varying density on high-frequency acoustic reflection, forward propagation loss and backscattering strength
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/06)This report examines the impact that a thin layer of varying density would have on high-frequency reflection, forward loss and backscattering of acoustic plane waves from the seafloor. A functional form for density ... -
The effect of suspended particulate matter on the performance of high frequency sonars in turbid coastal waters
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Shallow coastal environments are characterised by high levels of suspended mineral particles relative lo the open ocean and such suspensions can have a significant effect on the performance of high frequency sonars operating ... -
Transmission-time variability, vertical spatial and temporal analysis of NAPOLI'85, an experiment in the Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/09)An acoustic propagation experiment (NAPOLI '85) was carried out in the Tyrrhenian Sea in October 1985 in which signals from a broadband source were recorded at a range of 5 km with a vertical 62-m hydrophone array over a ...
