Obtaining the ocean index of refraction spectrum from the acoustic amplitude fluctuations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The feasibility of using acoustic measurements to determine the properties of a shallow water internal wave field is investigated through numerical simulations. The random intemal wave field is modeled by a generalized ... -
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 ... -
Ocean-basin reverberation from large underwater explosions: part 2: computer model for reverberation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Following detonation of an underwater explosion, sound reverberates from the ocean surface and bottom and from scatterers within the medium. In addition, the boundaries of the ocean basin and obstructions within it, such ... -
Ocean-bottom reflectivity (a point of view)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)The analysis procedures for extracting bottom loss values from pulsed acoustic signals that have interacted with the ocean bottom do not inherently consider sub-bottom refraction and reflection of sound, which are important ... -
Oceanic layered microstructure and fronts
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)This talk is divided into two parts: one deals with oceanic microstructure, with particular attention to the so-called "layered microstructure"; the other part is concerned with oceanic fronts. As an example of the latter ... -
Oceanic-acoustic experiments at SACLANTCEN
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)Last year, at the Director's suggestion, a project in oceanicacoustics was set up at the Centre with scientists from at least 3 groups playing some part in the planning and execution of experiments. The p roject represents ... -
Oceanography of the Strait of Sicily: proceedings of a conference held at SACLANTCEN on 11-12 April 1972
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09) -
On the physics and design of electrical discharge sources for active undersea surveillance
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)Underwater electrical arcs have long been used as an impulsive sound source, although efforts to improve efficiency and control acoustic output have been limited by inadequate understanding of the arc initiation process. ... -
Optimal detection and tracking of acoustical noise sources in a time-varying environment
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)A dynamical detector estimator is derived for nonlinear nongaussian signal processes based on Bucy's representation theorem which is the fundamental result in stochastic filtering. A quantized version of two-dimensional ... -
Overview of the ADPS signal processor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12) -
Performance assessment of broadband impulsive noise jammers
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)A noise jammer raises the noise level observed by a threat sonar to degrade the sonar's detection performance. In this paper we assess the potential for a specific noise jammer waveform used to countermeasure low frequency ... -
Performance of three averaging methods for various distributions
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)The performance of three averaging methods, namely the sample median, the sample arithmetic mean, and the sample geometric mean, are analyzed in tenns of their bias, variance, and mean square error. The bias and variance ...
