Propagation and Scattering in a Variable Shallow Water Waveguide

Abstract

Random variability in shallow water will induce variability in a propagating acoustic field. The long-term goal of this research is to quantify how random variability in the ocean environment translates into random variability in the acoustic field and the associated signal processing algorithms propagation in the mid-frequency (1-10 kHz) band. In the present funding cycle, the emphasis is on acoustic scintillation and the waveguide invariant.
