Quantitative Modeling of Bottom Morphology and Subbottom Properties.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were threefold: (1) To provide the methodology needed to quantify the two-dimensional variations in bottom topography and three-dimensional variations in subbottom properties observed within the ARSRP Central Atlantic study area: (2) To apply this methodology to geological data sets collected in the study area; and (3) To use the resulting geological models to understand the bottom reverberations observed at long ranges across the study area and other parts of the deep ocean.
