Measuring and modeling temporal changes in the seafloor scatter and its relationship with environmental variability
Abstract
Our objectives for the proposed study of the temporal variability in scattering and related geoacoustic parameters from shallow-wat"er seafloor sediments are intended to address: 1) the lack of long-time series measurements of acoustic scattering from the seafloor; and 2) increasing our basic understanding of, and modeling capabilities for, variability of geo-acoustic parameters controllingthe acoustic response of the seafloor. These goals will be achieved through examination of existing literature, analysis of collected environmental and acoustic data and by the use of extended approximate or numerical interface and volume scattering models. Scatter"ing models will have to naturally include the mechanisms causing variability in geo-acoustic parameters.
