Remote Sensing Technique for Geoacoustic Characterization of Heterogeneous Marine Sediments

Abstract

The scientific objective of this research is to evaluate various inversion algorithms and to assess conditions of their applicability for several specific types of heterogeneous rough sea beds. Another goal is to provide recommendations, first, on the choice of optimal parameters for acoustic measurements and, secondly, on accompanying environmental measurements of sediment heterogeneity. Also, it is proposed to start development of the sediment particulate size distribution data base for coastal environments.
