Transmission-loss characteristics and geoacoustic model for an outer Albanian continental shelf platform in the south-east Adriatic sea

Abstract

Transmission-loss experiments have been canied out on the outer Albanian Shelf. The acoustic measurements were performed together with a combined oceanographic and geological-geophysical survey which identified the different bottom types and their boundaries. Data and modelling are presented, along with an indication of the area of the Albanian Shelf for which the geoacoustic profile and transmission loss results are thought to pertain.
