Doppler passive fathometry
(CMRE, 2019/05)Passive fathometry is a technique whereby broadband ambient ocean noise received on an array of hydrophones is averaged and cross-correlated to produce a sub-bottom profile [Siderius, Harrison, and Porter (2006). J. Acoust. ... -
Drifter and float observations in the Adriatic Sea (1994-1996): data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/12)During the period December 1994 to November 1995, 62 Argos tracked surface drifters, one Argos tracked drifter drogued to 300 m and 3 Argos tracked sub-surface floats were released in the Adriatic Sea to describe the ... -
Drifter observations in the Nordic Seas (1991-1995) data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)During the period June 1991 to August 1993, 107 Argos tracked drifters drogued to 15 m depth were released in the Nordic seas (or Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian [GIN] sea) to study the variability of the near-surface circulation ... -
DUSS97: source localization and environmental inversion using vertical array data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/08)Results on source localization and environmental inversion using experimental data acquired on a vertical line array are presented. Global inversion methods based on genetic algorithms are utilized to estimated the range ... -
Dynamic attenuation extraction of seafloor sediments from very high resolution acoustic data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)An approach to acquire geophysical information of seabed sediments as derrved from acoustic attenuation rs described. Using thefrequencies corresponding to the signal power spectrum maximum and a point 3 dB below, signal ... -
Dynamic placement of a constellation of surface buoys for enhanced underwater positioning
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper addresses the challenge of dynamically adapting the location of the nodes in an acoustic network to optimise the localisation performance of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating in the area. A dynamic ... -

(CMRE, 2019/06)A coordinated dynamic network of autonomous underwater gliders to estimate 3D environmental sparse fields is proposed and tested. Field spatial sparsity is exploited in the estimation algorithm. Moreover field measurements ... -
Effect of different bandwidths for the detection of extended targets in reverberation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)In this paper, firstly the theoretical background of bandwidth effects on detection in noise and reverberation is presented in some detail, and secondly the relevant results of sea. trials with a low frequency active sonar ... -
Effect of ship motion on sonar detection performance
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)For an unstabilized transducer, the effect of ship motion on sonar echoes is twofold: 1. Attenuation caused by the rotational movement of the transducer in the vertical plane. The results show that the different loss figures ... -

Effects of sea bed structure on high frequency acoustic reverberation in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Although undoubtedly sea bed structures, patterns, and composition affect the reverberation of high-frequency acoustic energy, the extent of their influence is not well known. The effects of varying selected bedform ... -
Effects of sea-ice ridges on sound propagation in the Arctic Ocean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)An environmental/acoustic model of sound propagation in the Arctic Ocean, which accounts for reflection losses from ridged sea ice, has been developed. In this model sea-ice ridges are represented as infinitely long, ... -
Effects of topographic blockage and ocean boundaries on low frequency noise fields
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Low frequency noise in most ocean areas is dominated by shipping or industrial noise. The composite noise field is the result of radiated energy from each discrete noise source propagating over relatively large distances ...
