Environmental Fluctuations in Forward Scatter and Reverberation

Abstract

Conduct field experiments, data analyses, and modeling exploring the impact of environmental fluctuations on forward scatter and reverberation as well as on the inversion for seafloor geoacoustic parameters. Measure fluctuations in mid-frequency (~1-10 kHz) shallow water forward scatter and reverberation due to time-evolving variability in the sea surface and water column environment as well as source motion. Use observations to quantify the uncertainty in seafloor geoacoustic inversions due to environmental variability and their subsequent use in reverberation level predictions.
