Mid-Frequency Sound Propagation, Reverberation, and Geoacoustic Inversion in Shallow Water

Abstract

Abstract : The long-term goals of this work are (1) to use propagation or reverberation data to extract sediment geoacoustic parameters that can then be used to predict long range reverberation in shallow water; and (2) to validate such remote sensing techniques for geoacoustic inversion and their uncertainties using localized sediment ground truth measurements.
