Continue Measurement and Analysis of Geologically Induced Clutter in Seafloor Scattering

Abstract

The long-term goals of this effort are to: Characterize acoustic clutter in a manner that will lead to its mitigation. Improve the understanding of the effects of seafloor morphology and composition on scattering and clutter. Improve geo-acoustic parameter extraction from reverberation data. Improve our understanding of the multi-static physical mechanisms (below 5kHz) which scatter incident energy into a receiver and which can possess target-like characteristics (clutter). Construct suitable current high fidelity reverberation and scattering models for model/data comparison and inversion.
