ONR Special Award in Ocean Acoustics FY10-FY11

Abstract

The long-term goals are to understand the effects of deterministic and random ocean processes on acoustic propagation with emphasis on torpedo and sonar frequencies, to work with the younger students and Faculty where my 50 years of experience in University research can provide assistance in their research and scholarly pursuits and to work with the Director of APL and others to provide a long term view of the science and staff policies at our University. The objectives are: 1. To complete publication of my paper covering the 50 years I've spent studying ocean acoustic WPRM (Wave Propagation in Random Media), 2. To complete a paper with Frank Henyey on the "goodness of fit" testing of proposed probability distributions in WPRM, and 3. To complete a paper with Brad Bell and Frank Henyey on a technique we developed to implement a complex amplitude multi-dimensional matched filter, CAMDMF, on pulsed data returns. My approach to completing the publication of work funded by my ONR 10 year award in ocean acoustics is as follows: 1. Following a 3rd editing based on the review of some of my Colleagues, the "50 years" paper will be submitted to JASA as a Tutorial in Ocean Acoustics. 2. For both of the other research efforts it has been necessary to get the software for these projects that was written by myself or a programmer that worked for me up and running on my computer in order to complete some desired computations before the papers can be completed. In this work I will be collaborating with Brad Bell and Frank Henyey of APL.
