Statistical Properties of the Acoustic Field in Inhomogeneous Oceanic Environments

Abstract

To develop an effective method of description of statistical properties of acoustical signals and calculation of false alarm rate for a given probability distribution of locations of acoustic source(s) in space. To quantify the degree to which uncertainty in the knowledge of cross-range variation of environmental parameters and their variation in time (or purely statistical information on the variations) degrades the ability to detect, locate, and track targets acoustically.
