Sound Velocity, Elasticity, and Related Properties of Marine Sediments, North Pacific. 3. Prediction of In Situ Properties

Abstract

A study of the acoustic and related properties of the sea floor in three major environments of the North Pacific: the continental terrace (shelf and slope), abyssal plain (turbidite), and abyssal hill (pelagic). Discussions cover the correction of laboratory to insitu values, and the prediction of in situ values. The methods developed are applicable to other areas and sediments.
