Sonobuoy-Based Acoustic Characterization of Shallow-Water Environments

Abstract

The long-term goal of this research is to increase our understanding of shallow water acoustic propagation and its relationship to the three-dimensionally varying seabed and water column environments. The scientific objectives of this research are: (1) to develop high-resolution methods for characterizing the spatial and temporal behavior of the normal mode field in shallow water; (2) to use this characterization as input data to inversion techniques for inferring the acoustic properties of the shallow-water waveguide (both the seabed and the water column); and (3) to use this characterization to improve our ability to localize and track sources.
