Investigation of Parametric Acoustic Response of a Fluctuating Ocean

Abstract

The long-term goals are: 1) to take advantage of the ever-changing ocean environment's effects in order to provide a more complete understanding of long-range acoustic pulse propagation, 2) understanding the extent of fundamental limitations on ray-based acoustic tomography; of particular interest is the breakdown range of semiclassical methods, and 3) to address important basic physics issues that arise in the ocean problem, but within a more general context.
