Environmental Effects on High-Frequency Seafloor Scattering Statistics

Abstract

The long-term goals of this research program are to determine and characterize the causes of clutter in the output of high-frequency sonar systems operating in shallow water areas that have spatially heterogeneous seafloors and to link a statistical characterization of returns to the environment through models.
