Ocean Acoustic Propagation: Fluctuations and Coherence in Dynamically Active Shallow-Water Regions

Abstract

The goals are to understand the nature and causes of acoustic signal fluctuations in the shallow water environment (i.e. the physical mechanisms). This may enhance prediction of acoustic system performance and enable exploitation of oceanographic variability and signal features. Here, signal means any identifiable acoustic reception, including sounds of unknown origin, identifiable signals from discrete sources, and intentional signals.
