Shallow-Water Propagation

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. Develop propagation models and related methods for complex shallow-water environments, test their capabilities and accuracy, and apply them using environmental and acoustic data. OBJECTIVES. (A) Treat propagation through range-dependent elastic and poro-elastic sediments, in waveguides of variable overall thickness, and with pulse or broadband sources. (B) Find field statistics efficiently from stochastic propagation models, quantify effects of random environmental and experimental variability, and use model predictions to analyze data.
