A high frequency approach for seabed vegetation characterization
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)This paper focuses on the characterization of seabed vegetation, an interesting problem in a lot of Mediterranean sea coastal sites since water quality and pollution degree can be efficaciously solved by investigating the ... -
Acoustic characterization of submerged aquatic vegetation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The acoustic characteristics of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) were investigated in order to enhance the performance of mine-hunting and weapon sonars in littoral reglons. The specres of seagrass initially studied was ... -
Characteristics of the mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica contributing to high-frequency acoustic scattering
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/05)Posidonia oceanica meadows are the most important ecosystem for the life cycle of coastal Mediterranean benthos with a fundamental role in the primary production of the neritic system and a decisive influence on other ... -
Inverse acoustical determination of photosynthetic oxygen productivity of Posidonia seagrass
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/02)As part of geoacoustic inversion experiments (Yellow Shark) in the Giglio basin, off the west coast of Italy, low frequency, broad-band propagation measurements were performed in the winter and spring of 1995 over a dense ... -
Statistical evaluation of 80 kHz shallow-water seafloor reverberation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)In this work a comparison is presented between 80 kHz reverberation statistics obtained at shallow water sites around Sardinia and Sicily. The data include measurements from several distinct bottom provinces, including ...
