Semiclassical Investigation of Low Frequency, Long Range Acoustic Pulse Propagation in Deep Ocean Environments

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to address the limits of feasibility of underwater acoustic propagation models based on the geometric acoustics approximation. Accomplishing this goal will lead to an understanding of the limiting resolution of acoustic tomographic inversions for oceanic structure, whether using stochastic or deterministic methods.
