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 ...
Multistatic bottom reverberation in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
A wavenumber integration approach to modeling of the full multistatic reverberant field produced by small-scale bottom roughness in stratified shallow water waveguides has been developed. A perturbation approach to rough ...
Sound absorption by suspended particulate matter
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
A series of experiments has been performed to study the viscous absorption of sound by particulate suspensions typical of those found in coastal waters. The effect due to the particles in the frequency range of 50 - 150 ...
Modeling range-dependent, high-frequency, shallow-water torpedo reverberation data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
The high-frequency, forward bottom losses predicted by a lossy Rayleigh and a Biot poroelastic sediment model are substantially different. These differences will accumulate and become measurable in multiple bottom bounce ...
Effects of sea bed structure on high frequency acoustic reverberation in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
Although undoubtedly sea bed structures, patterns, and composition affect the reverberation of high-frequency acoustic energy, the extent of their influence is not well known. The effects of varying selected bedform ...
Uniqueness problems in extracting environmental parameters from high-frequency shallow-water reverberation measurements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
Inversion techniques that extract environmental parameters from measured reverberation often lead to mathematical problems that are not well-posed. Two examples illustrate this possibility. The first hows how a model can ...
Shallow water reverberation modeling using an autoregressive range-scattering function approach
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
The primary limitation on system performance for active sonars is reverberation - the reradiation of acoustic energy back to the receiver from inhomogeneities in the physical properties of the medium and its boundaries. A ...
High resolution feature extraction from reverberation data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
A new method of signal approximatzon is presented which has the capability to model complex active returns due to reverberation. The method explored herein is data adaptive in the sense that high resolution processing is ...
