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, 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 ... -
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 ... -
Intermediate water downstream of the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)In July 1970 the ATLANTIS II sailed through the western Mediterranean providing an opportunity to make a quasi-synoptic observation of the Levantine Intermediate Water between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Strait of ... -
Internal oceanographic microstructure phenomena
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)This paper is concerned with the nature and causes of both fine structure and microstructure in the ocean. Following an account of the acoustic/oceanographic background to subject, the characteristics of fine structure are ... -
Inverse wave propagation in an inhomogeneous waveguide
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)A solution is given for the problem of inverse propagation in an inhomogeneous rectangular two-dimensional waveguide. The sound speed is assumed to vary in depth and inverse propagation means the calculation of the field ... -
Is power averaging the best estimator for undersea acoustic data?
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)The power average is the statistic which is commonly used in all types of acoustic data processing. It is an excellent estimator for "well behaved" Gaussian distributions when the central or average value is desired. ... -
Laboratory utilization of a standard signal processor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)The AN/UYS-l Advanced Signal Processor (ASP), or PROTEUS, is the U.S. Navy's standard signal processor and is being utilized in several systems. For shipboard use, the ASP is used as a processor with no peripherals, generally ... -
Le programme Ulysse: réseau de bouées pour l'étude statistique du bruit ambiant sous-marin
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06) -
Low frequency active sonar (LFA) bottom loss requirements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)A bottom interaction simulator was developed to investigate LFA bottom bounce losses, i.e., the mismatch losses, which occur in matched filter processing of bottom and target reflected signals due to the time spreading ... -
Low frequency active sonar noise rejection in a multistatic sonar system
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)The use of low frequency active sonar for ASW has repercussions on automated detection performance. Input data contain not only target returns, but also noise formed by returns from the environment The detector may report ... -

Low frequency resonance backscatter from near-surface bubble clouds
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)When active sonar systems are used to insonate the sea surface, anomalous scattering is observed in the form of enhanced backscatter, and more importantly, in the form of discrete, bright echoes. The most plausible explanation ... -
Low-frequency acoustic measurements in a shallow-water area with a rough sea surface
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Surface wave spectra have been measured in the North Sea simultaneously with acoustic investigations using explosive and CW sources. The goal of these experiments was to determine the influence of surface waves to low-frequency ... -
Low-frequency seismic and hydroacustic noise measurements in a fjord
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Low frequency ambient noise signals from an ocean bottom seismometer (oBS) put on the sea floor of a Norwegian fjord have been studied. The instrument contains 3 seismometers and one hydrophone, and signals from all 4 ... -
