Littoral Subsonic Seismoacoustic Phenomena Ultrasonic Modeling

Abstract

Develop comprehensive physical understanding of fundamental littoral subsonic seismoacoustic phenomena on the interaction of broadband transient underwater acoustic waves, interface Scholte waves, and surface Rayleigh waves with naturally-deposited /disturbed heterogeneous marine sediments with topography, variable water/air content, and benthic shelled animals leading to accurate acoustic modeling of littoral surficial layer and geophysical inversion needed for reliable seismoacoustic detection of buried objects in very shallow water and the unsaturated surf zone.
