Tow-Ship Noise

Abstract

Geoacoustic inversion from tow-ship noised data acquired on a horizontal towed array is discussed. Through simulations and experimental results, it is shown that even very quiet ships radiate sufficient noise power to enable self-noise inversion of basic geoacoustic parameters such as effective bottom velocity.
