Celtic Duet A Joint SACLANTCEN/NRL Shallow Water Sea Trial in the Celtic Sea during July 1992: Data Summary

Abstract

In July 1992 a joint shallow-water sea trial was conducted in the Celtic Sea by the SACLANT Undersea Research Centre and the US Naval Research Laboratory. The purpose was to obtain monostatic and bistatic reverberation measurements, with supporting transmission loss and environmental measurements. Three sites were chosen: one where small sand waves were deemed to be present, a second where there were large sand ridges, and a third where thin sediment over a chalk bottom was expected. Two ships were used, the NRV Alliance, and the USNS Bartlett.
