Statistical Properties of the Acoustic Field in Inhomogeneous Oceanic Environments

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. 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.
