Seabed Characterization for SW2013 Mid-Frequency Reverberation Experiment

Abstract

The long-term science question addressed by the SW2013 experiment (relevant to this proposal) is to advance understanding of the seabed mechanisms that control clutter and diffuse reverberation. The specific goals are to: 1) quantify seabed physical properties and their spatial (vertical and horizontal) variability and uncertainties and 2) based on the spatial variability make and test hypotheses about the mechanisms that control clutter and diffuse reverberation.
