Applications of Quantum Chaos Concepts to Long-Range Ocean Acoustics
Abstract
There are three primary scientific objectives of this work: 1) to begin developing a geometric acoustics theory that addresses parametrically varying ocean environments in the presence of ray chaos, determines what information survives under such conditions, and determines how to extract it, 2) to develop the geometric acoustics theory of wavefield fluctuations, and 3) to determine the sensitivity of acoustic wavefields to relevant ocean environment parameters thereby connecting the scale of changes in the ocean to range scales of wavefield correlation decay.
