Validation of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck route propagation model in the Mediterranean Sea
(CMRE, 2019/06)Traffic route analysis and prediction are both crucial to maritime security. The ability to predict a vessel position in the future is essential to provide information on upcoming events. However, accurate prediction along ... -
Variability in the Gulf of Cadiz: internal waves and globs
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1980/08)An experiment was performed in the Gulf of Cadiz during June 1977, with the objective of separating oceanic variability due to internal waves from that due to inhomogeneities of the water. A CTD which oscillates in depth ... -
Variable sea level and strait flows in the Mediterranean: a theoretical study of the response to meteorological forcing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1983/05)Changes in atmospheric pressure over the Mediterranean are thought to account for a significant part of low frequency sea level changes and associated flow through the Strait of Gibraltar. However, Crepon's (1965) examination ... -
Variable structure interacting multiple model algorithm for ship tracking using HF surface wave radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)These last decades spawned a great interest towards low-power High-Frequency (HF) Surface-Wave (SW) radars for ocean remote sensing. By virtue of their over-the-horizon coverage capability and continuous time mode of ... -
A verification, validation and accreditation process for autonomous interoperable systems
(CMRE, 2019/05)Navies, Industries and Research are investigating how to move to future mine counter measure operations where of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles work collaboratively with minimal human interaction. Modelling and ... -
Vertical porosity and velocity fluctuations in shallow-water surficial sediments and their use in modeling volume scattering
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Variability in sediment porosity and velocity creates volume scattering which is a parameter used in high-frequency scattering models. High-resolution vertical profiles of sediment porosity and compresstonal wave velocity ... -
Very low frequency ambient noise measurements in the Ionian Sea: data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/09)This memorandum describes an experiment and provides a data -
Very-high (cm scale) resolution multichannel seismology
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997) -
Vessel pattern knowledge discovery from AIS data: a framework for anomaly detection and route prediction
(CMRE, 2014/01)Understanding maritime traffic patterns is key to Maritime Situational Awareness applications, in particular, to classify and predict activities. Facilitated by the recent build-up of terrestrial networks and satellite ... -
Virtual beams from an FFT beamformer and their use to assess the quality of a towed-array system
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1983/01)Linear towed arrays with sophisticated signal processing systems have become popular for passive sonar and seismic prospecting. This is due to the ease of mobility and the large spatial gains achievable. However, because ... -
Volumetric distribution of oceanographic fields estimated from remote sensing and in situ observations from autonomous underwater vehicles of opportunity
(NURC, 2012/04)A main challenge of military oceanography (MILOC) is to assess the oceanographic conditions of denied/highrisk marine regions. Monitoring technologies are limited to those that can provide access to these regions. Remote ... -
Water masses, sound velocity structure and circulation between the eastern Algerian Basin and the Strait of Sicily in October 1996
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/01)The investigation is based on data collected between the eastern Algerian Basin and the Strait of Sicily and in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The major pathways of water masses are identified by the -
Waterside Security 2010 (WSS2010) conference: post conference report
(NURC, 2011/02)The 2nd International Conference on Waterside Security was hosted by NURC, Carrara, Italy, 3-5 November 2010. This report provides summary statistics of the conference, a summary of the workshops, remarks form the WSS2010 ... -
Wave theory modelling of convergence zone propagation in the ocean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/06)Improved numerical techniques together with continual advances in computer technology have now -
Wavefront curvature ranging as a passive synthetic aperture problem
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)A new method of wavefront curvature passive ranging is introduced that is based on a model-based approach. The signal and measurement systems are placed into state-space form, thereby allowing the unknown parameters of the ... -
Wavelet analysis of side scan sonar imagery for classification
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Wavelet-based techniques are presented for compressing side scan sonar images communicated from UUV's through band limited communication channels. Testing with an automatrc classifier on reconstructed images demonstrates ... -
Weather-routing system based on METOC navigation risk assessment
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents a novel weather-routing system based on a multi-criteria setup. The set of 3 conflicting criteria is: travel time, ship navigation added resistance (caused by wind and waves), and navigation risk/safety. ... -
Yellow Shark Spring '95: inversion results from sparse broadband acoustic measurements over a highly range dependent soft clay layer
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/06)In May 1995, SACLANTCEN performed broad-band (200-800 Hz) acoustic measurements in the Giglio basin off the coast of Italy as part of the Yellow Shark inversion experiments. In this paper, inversion of sparse, broad-band ...
