Statistical Properties of the Acoustic Field in Inhomogeneous Oceanic Environments: Acoustic Uncertainty Due to Horizontal Refraction

Abstract

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.
