A deep stepped thermohaline structure deep in the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)A deep stepped thermohaline structure has been observed in the Tyrrhenian Sea below the Levant ine water salinity maximum. The layers are remarkably homogeneous starting with a thickness of 10 m - 20 m at 600 m and thereafter ... -
Application of beam-forming techniques to measurements of acoustic scattering from the ocean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/10)Signals from an explosive source backscattered from the seafloor and received at long range by -
Broadband acoustic transmission intensity fluctuations in the Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/11)An acoustic propagation experiment was carried out in the Tyrrhenian Sea in October 1985 in which signals from a broadband source were recorded at a range of 5 km with a vertical 62 m hydrophone array over a period of 5 ... -
Directional measurements of low-frequency acoustic backscattering from the seafloor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)Long-range, low-frequency directional measurements of acoustic backscattering from the seafloor were made in the Tyrrhenian Sea using explosi ve sound sources. The signals were received by a horizontal towed array of ... -
Generic Oceanographic Array Technologies (GOATS)'98: bi-static seabed scattering measurements using autonomous underwater vehicles
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/10)The GOATS'98 experiment was performed May 5-29, 1998 in shallow water off Marciana Marina, on the island of Elba, Italy. The experiment addressed some of the fundamental issues associated with using the new Autonomous Ocean ... -
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 ... -
Low-frequency reverberation measurements with an activated towed array: Scattering strengths and statistics
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/10)Results of reverberation measurements made with a low-frequency activated towed array sonar system in two deep-water locations of the Mediterranean Sea are presented. Measurements took -
Oceanographic analysis of NAPOLI'85, an experiment in the Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1990/03)In 1985, an acoustic/oceanographic experiment (NAPOLI '85) was carried out in the Tyrrhenian Sea to investigate acoustic propagation -
Oceanographic data from the southern Tyrrhenian Sea: August to October 1984: Part 1 - Floats and moored instruments: Part 2 - Hydrography
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/02)A SACLANTCEN observational programme in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea comprised a sequence of three cruises during the period August to November 1984. The primary purpose was to investigate the late summer water-mass variability ... -
On the applicability of satellite-borne SAR imagery to coastal oceanography
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images have been acquired from the first European Space Agency (ESA) remote sensing satellite ERS- 1. The mesoscale feature images are from Norwegian coastal waters and the Mediterranean (Elba ... -
Seismic stratigraphy of the Capraia basin, Northern Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2001/01)The distribution and thickness of sediments within the Capraia Basin, Northern Tyrrhenian Sea, have been mapped using high-resolution seismic reflection data. The data were studied within the geologic framework determined ... -
The steady state of the step structure in the Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1978/10)A deep step structure, in which mixed layers alternate with high gradient interfaces, is a characteristic feature of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Three oceanographic cruises (May 1972, May 1973 and October 1974), supported by the ... -
Transmission-time variability, vertical spatial and temporal analysis of NAPOLI'85, an experiment in the Tyrrhenian Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/09)An acoustic propagation experiment (NAPOLI '85) was carried out in the Tyrrhenian Sea in October 1985 in which signals from a broadband source were recorded at a range of 5 km with a vertical 62-m hydrophone array over a ... -
Water masses, sound velocity structure and circulation between the eastern Algerian Basin and the Strait of Sicily in October 1996
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/01)The investigation is based on data collected between the eastern Algerian Basin and the Strait of Sicily and in the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The major pathways of water masses are identified by the -
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 ...
