Acoustic bottom characterization of a shallow water area west of Mallorca
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)An experiment was conducted in shallow water on the Balearic Shelf -
Comparison of measured reverberation on the transmission loss data with modelled results on the West Florida continental shelf
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)Acoustic data from the September, 1992 Area Characterization Test (ACT I) are compared to ADAM (Advanced Development Acoustic Model) output. Conduct of harsh shallow water acoustic exercises, and data interpretation mandates ... -
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 ... -
Measurements and predictions of transmission loss at two sites in the Southwest Approaches to the English Channel
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)As part of a continuing series of measurements being made by -
Measurements of correlation loss and time-spreading in linear FM sweeps and pseudo-random noise signals transmitted over long ranges in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/12)The results of some transmission measurements made in shallow water are described. The ranges were about 15 km, 20 km, and 34 km, and the sound source was either suspended about 10 m above the bottom or was on the bottom ... -
Medium-induced low-frequency fluctuations in acoustic transmission loss: examples from measurements in selected geographical areas
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)The ocean is a complex, highly variable acoustic nedium. A propagating acoustic signal is affected by a host of phenomena, including the sea-surf ace and bottom, volume inhomogenei ties, internal waves and tides, and ... -
Ocean-basin reverberation from large underwater explosions: part 1: source-level and propagation-loss modelling
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Predicting the reverberant returns from ocean basin reflectors requires describing acoustic source levels for large, conventional underwater explosions, defining the two way propagation loss and signal spreading from the ... -
RAPID RESPONSE, september 1996: modelling of broadband transmission loss along selected tracks in the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/07)A large set of experimental acoustic broadband data in the 50-3200 Hz band is analyzed with the objective of deriving average geoacoustic models for three sites in the Strait of Sicily. The experimental data were obtained ... -
Some effects of large-scale oceanography on acoustic propagation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)A propagation experiment was conducted along a great circle track in the North American Basin, beginning at a point 400 km north of Antigua, W.I. and ending at the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Shallow explosive sources ... -
Surface duct propagation loss measurements and model predictions at low and mid frequencies
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)Side-by-side measurements of low- and mid-frequency propagation loss were obtained during a sea test conducted in the North Atlantic during February of 1992. These measurements are compared to each other and with model ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
