Review of numerical models in underwater acoustics including recently developed fast-field program
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1984/12)
Two papers given by SACLANTCEN personnel at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Hybrid Formulation of Wave Propagation and Scattering at Castel Gandolfo, Rome, Italy on 30 August to 3 September 1983 are published as a ...
PC-based propagation and sonar prediction models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)
Six acoustic models available for use on PC's are tested on a series of typical propagation situations from the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The model set includes both early US Navy models (ASTRAL, FACT, RAYMODE) ...
RAPID RESPONSE, september 1996: modelling of broadband transmission loss along selected tracks in the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/07)
A large set of experimental acoustic broadband data in the 50-3200 Hz band is analyzed with the objective of deriving average geoacoustic models for three sites in the Strait of Sicily. The experimental data were obtained ...
Performance assessment of the LYBIN - 2.0 propagation-loss model
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2001/07)
A new acoustic model LYBIN has been proposed for inclusion in the AESS model set. In order to determine this model's prediction accuracy and computational efficiency, SACLANTCEN was tasked to test LYBIN on exactly the same ...
Performance assessment of propagation models in AESS-6.0
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/08)
A set of AESS propagation-loss predictions has been generated for typical operational scenarios in both deep and shallow water, for two sonar frequencies (500 and 3500 Hz) and for several source-receiver combinations. ...
Mode and PE predictions of propagation in range-dependent environments: SWAM'99 workshop results
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/05)
Three numerical acoustic models, a coupled normal-mode model (C-SNAP),
Evaluation of experimental techniques for determining the plane wave reflection coefficient at the sea floor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)
One of the most commonly used techniques for determinati on of the geoacoustical properties of the sea bed is the measurement of plane wave reflection coefficients at the ocean bottom. An incident field is pr oduced by ...
Acoustic impact of upper ocean models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/12)
The upper mixed-surface layer of the ocean, with its homogeneous vertical temperature profile, provides a somewhat special acoustic propagation environment where the sound speed will increase (due to pressure) down to the ...
Numerical modeling results for mode propagation in a wedge
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/11)
A PE (parabolic equation) code is used to study propagation in a shallow water wedge with a penetrable bottom. Particular attention is given to "wedge modes" that have wave fronts that are arcs of circles centered on the ...
Sound propagation in shallow water: a detailed description of the acoustic field close to surface and bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/02)
Experimental data are compared with normal-mode predictions for an isovelocity shallow-water propagation channel overlying a complicated layered bottom. Measurements were made close to both the sea surface and the sea floor ...
