A note on attenuation and dispersion in marine sediments
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/04)From the more recent investigations reported ill the literature, -
A note on convergent zones
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1962/02)An exact solution for ray paths near a sound channel with parabolic velocity profile is given for rays crossing the sound channel axis at small angles. The convergent zone for such rays for a source on axis is compared ... -
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 ... -
An acoustic, high resolution, sediment profiler
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1966/11)An acoustic sediment profiler is described that utilizes short 50 kHz pulses to achieve a high range resolution. In trials in shallow water, penetration depths of about 9 m and resolution of about 25 cm were obtained. ... -
Bottom-interacting ocean acoustics: proceedings of a conference held at SACLANTCEN on 9-13 June 1980
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1980/07) -
Decay of large underwater bubble oscillations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/02)Pressure - time series from breathing mode oscillation of large (centimeter scale or larger) underwater bubbles reveal much higher decay rates than can be explained using viscous, thermal, or radiative mechanisms which ... -
Digital analysis working group: proceedings of a conference held at SACLANTCEN on 25-27 May 1971
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/05) -
Impulse response of a layered bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1967/01)Numerical methods are used for the Fourier inversion of the frequency-dependent loss transfer function. Because of the non-zero finite values of the integrand for an infinite high frequency, the asymptotic value is subtracted ... -
Numerical simulation of the effects of bathymetry on underwater sound propagation using three-dimensional parabolic models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/03)Two different three-dimensional parabolic equation (PE) methods are -
Parameter estimation using multi-frequency range-dependent acoustic data in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/11)The estimation of all forward model parameters - geometric, geoacoustic, -
Principles and methods of core analysis at the SACLANT ASW Research Centre
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1967/08)The methods and accuracy of measuring core parameters at the SACLANTCEN are described. Those for measuring sound velocity and electrical resistivity are explained in detail. -
SAFARI Seismo-Acoustic Fast field Algorithm for Range-Independent environments: user's guide
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/09)An efficient algorithm has been developed for solving the depth-separated wave equation in general fluid/solid horizontlly stratified media. The algorithm has been built into a general-purpose package of computer codes ... -
Scintillation instrument for remote environmental analysis (SIREN)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/02)A high frequency acoustic propagation instrument which was developed to study ocean variability in the Strait of Istanbul (Bosporus) is described. The scintillation instrument for remote environmental analysis (SIREN) was ...
