Mid-Frequency Shallow Water Studies and SW06 (LEAR)

Abstract

Long-term goals: To develop physics-based, predictive sonar models for: (a) propagation and detection in littoral conditions (b) mid- to high-frequency acoustic scattering and reflection from the air-sea interface. Objectives: (1) Analyze, model, and report results from Asian Seas International Acoustics Experiment (ASIAEX) conducted in the East China Sea (May-June 2001). (2) Prepare for 2006 LEAR (Littoral Environmental Acoustics Research) experiment in 2006 (a follow-on experiment to ASIAEX). The approach involves a combination of data analysis (ASIAEX data), theoretical modeling (scattering theories, van Cittert-Zernike theorem) and numerical simulation (RAM PE code). For LEAR, the approach is directed toward new experimental array development and experimental planning.
