A fast field model for three-dimensional wave propagation in stratified environments based on the global matrix method
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/03)A three-dimensional fast field program (FFP) model based on the global matrix method will be presented. Compared to traditional propagator matrix methods, the global matrix method allows for a more efficient, and, furthermore, ... -
Acoustical characteristics of the sea floor: experimental techniques and some examples from the Mediterranean Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1974/11)The acoustical properties of the sea floor are primarily determined by the physical properties of the sediments, layering in the sediments, and the roughness of the bottom and sub-bottom. Over the last decade many cores ... -
Deterministic propagation modelling: Part 1: Fundamental principles *Part 2: Numerical results
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1981/06)The physics of sound propagation in the ocean is briefly reviewed. The wave equation is presented and a set of solutions under a variety of approximations is discussed. The consistency among these solutions is illustrated. -
Estimation of shear wave properties in the upper sea-bed using seismo-acoustical interface waves
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Acoustic interface waves have been recorded with a bottom deployed acoustic array at several locations. High resolution array processing technique (Prony) is used to estimate velocity versus frequency for the interface ... -
Interface wave studies on the Ligurian shelf usingan OBS array: experimental results and propagation models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)Seismic waves travelling in the water/sediment or subbottom sediment/sediment interface have been the subject of considerable interest in recent years. Experiments have confirmed the existence of interface waves in different ... -
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 ... -
Shear properties of ocean sediments determined from numerical modelling of Scholte wave data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)Recently it has become apparent that shear properties of ocean sediments are most easily determined from measured propagation characteristics of seismic interface waves. We use a newly developed numeri ca l model of wave ... -
Source and receiver responses in boreholes
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)This report considers the acoustic interaction between the acoustic freld rn a borehole and the elastic field in the surrounding formation. The problem with acoustic-seismic radration of energy from a source in a fluid ...
