Seabed Variability and Its Influence on Acoustic Prediction Uncertainty

Abstract

The long-term goal is to assess and mitigate uncertainty in the tactical naval environment, in terms of accurate acoustic detection with specific reference to geoacoustics through two overarching goals: 1. Assess and characterize seafloor variability in shelf environments 2. Determine the impact of the seafloor variability on acoustic prediction uncertainty.
