ONR Geoclutter Program: Final Analysis of Geophysical and Geological Data

Abstract

The primary goal of the Geoclutter program is to assess geologic clutter/reverberation issues in a seismically and geologically well-characterized shallow-water environment. The mid-outer continental shelf off New Jersey provides such an opportunity, because both bathymetry (a known and prominent cause of backscatter) and portions of the shallow subsurface have been mapped in detail as a result of STRATAFORM.
