Seabed Variability and its Influence on Acoustic Prediction Uncertainty

Abstract

The seabed variability group was incorporated into the ONR Defense Research Initiative on Capturing Acoustic Uncertainty in order to provide a focused investigation into the contribution of seabed inhomogeneity (both bathymetric and geoacoustic variability) to uncertainty in acoustic prediction and detection. My effort is focused on characterizing such inhomogeneity with existing data, with the goal of providing useful input to the acoustic modeling efforts.
