Studies of the Vector Field in Shallow Water and in the Presence of 3-D Variability

Abstract

The goals of this work were multi-faceted, consistent with the various efforts covered by this project. In all cases, however, the focus was on the study of the flow of energy in the acoustic field. One goal was to examine the information that is available from point measurements of the directional noise field, and potential applications of this data for geoacoustic inversion. Another goal was to improve our understanding of the significance of 3-D propagation effects and quantify their relative importance in areas of interest. Particular focus was placed on propagation in littoral regions and in continental shelf canyons.
