Measurement and Modeling of Deep Water Ocean Acoustics

Abstract

The long-term goal of this research is to understand deep-water propagation, with particular emphasis placed on the passive quiet target detection problem. Focus is on the spatial/temporal structure of acoustic paths for moving sources and moving receivers. This research seeks to understand the impact that mid-ocean variability (internal waves, surface scattering and mixed layer variability) and seafloor scattering have on the detection problem.
