Quantifying, Predicting, and Exploiting (QPE) Uncertainty

Abstract

The long term goal of our QPE work is to: 1) quantitatively understand what the uncertainties are in low frequency (10-1000 Hz) acoustic propagation and noise that are caused by variable and complex oceanography and seabed structure, 2) determine the limits to predicting the fluctuating and variable propagation and noise in this frequency regime and others, and 3) ascertain what naval advantage may be gained (if any) by understanding the nature of the uncertainty.
