High Frequency Acoustic Channel Characterization for Propagation and Ambient Noise

Abstract

Predicting underwater detection capabilities as well as vulnerabilities depends strongly on the characteristics of the ocean acoustic propagation channel. Operational advantages can be obtained by exploiting the ambient noise field to characterize the channel. The long term goal of this research is to determine methods that take advantage of the ambient noise field to extract useful information about the ocean operating environment.
