Accounting for Ocean and Seabed Variability in Oceanic Waveguide Parameter Estimation

Abstract

The long-term objective of this work is to develop methods for rapid assessment of seabed variability combined with detailed localized geoacoustic inversions to characterize the bottom for shallow-water environments. Consideration is given to spatial and temporal variability of water column properties common to shallow-water environments and their impact on inversion results. Advances made in the work will contribute to development of unified ocean/ seabed/ acoustic models and improved prediction capabilities for USW tactical decision aids.
