C-SNAP: Coupled SACLANTCEN Normal mode propagation loss model
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/12)On the basis of a widely used and efficient range-independent normal mode code, SNAP, and a numerical solution technique for one-way mode coupling obtained from KRAKEN, we have built a range-dependent propagation loss model ... -
Inversion of seismo-acoustic data using genetic algorithms and 'a posteriori' distributions
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)The goal of many underwater acoustic modelling problem is to establish the physical parameters of the environment. With the increase in -
Interpretation and representation of the synoptic features in the Iceland-Faeroe-Shetland region
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/07)The kinematic structure of the sub-inertial fluctuations of measured current and temperature fields from 6 moorings deployed during the June -
Scattering from a rough sedimental seafloor containing shear and layering, as determined by perturbation theory
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/07)First-order perturbation theory is applied to reverberation from a rough sedimental seafloor. In addition to existing approaches, the seafloor is allowed to be shear-supporting or to be layered. Scattering strengths are ... -
Surface measurements made from the R/V ALLIANCE during the Mediterranean aircraft-ship transmission experiment (MASTEX), June 1990
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/12)Measurements of sea-surface temperature, surface meteorology and atmospheric profiles taken during the June 1990 cruise of the R/V Alliance in the Aegean and Ionian Seas are presented in graphical form. True winds, net ... -
Ocean currents in the Iceland-Faeroe area, measured by a bottom-mounted ADCP
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/12)Horizontal currents as a function of depth, measured by a bottommounted -
Impact of uncertain environmental knowledge on the shallow-water transfer function
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/12)It is assumed that the acoustic channel can be modeled as a linear time-invariant space-variant filter. In this case, from linear systems theory, it is known that the filter output, that is the predicted source signal ... -
Hydrography of the Iceland-Faeroe Ridge during March 1992: environmental data during NORDIC 92
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/12)This memorandum documents an extensive collection of CTD and XBT data made on the Iceland-Faeroe Ridge in March, 1992 by the SACLANTCEN vessel Alliance and the FWG vessel Planet as part of a larger operation called NORDIC ... -
Icelandic current experiment GIN Sea Cruise 88 data report: Hydrography and circulation: volume 1
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/09)The hydrographic and circulation data from the GIN '88 cruise on board the R/V Alliance are summarised in this data report. This cruise constituted the first component of the Icelandic Current Experiment, an observational ... -

Application of real data to sonar detection by neural networks
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/11)This memorandum describes the results of applying an artificial neural network for the detection of target echoes. The present study is a continuation of work conducted in 1989 in which a three-layer artificial neural ... -
Mapping ocean sediments by RBF networks
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/09)Interpolation of sparse measurements of ocean-sediment properties by generalized radial basis function (RBF) networks is proposed. An RBF -
An experimental study in forming a long synthetic aperture in the sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/09)Successful experimental testing of synthetic aperture techniques for sonar systems have been very limited and only few results, including very stable CW signals, have been published. These experimental results and theoretical ... -
Atlantic inflow experiment GIN Sea Cruise'87: Data report Part II: Circulation (Faeroe Channel)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/12)This data report summarizes results of the Atlantic Inflow Experiment, -
An analytical study of source localization in shallow water by matched-field processing of horizontal arrays
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/08)Over the last few years a large number of studies have reported results of range-depth localization of sound sources by matched-field processing of vertical arrays in known environments. The performance of matched-field ... -
