ASIAEX Scattering Strength and Subbottom Geoacoustic Inversions

Abstract

The long-term goals of this work are to develop processing approaches that enable the estimation of both seafloor scattering strength and subbottom geoacoustic parameters from monostatic and bistatic scattering observations. The objectives of this research are to develop inversion procedures for the estimation of both seafloor scattering strength and subbottom geoacoustic parameters based on both forward propagation data and monostatic backscatter (reverberation) and to demonstrate their use in the analysis of data collected during the East China Sea component of ASIAEX.
