Geoacoustic Physical Modeling: Volume-Roughness Interactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
This project is a part of collaboration between APL and NRL, which involves both theoretical study of volume-roughness interactions and water tank measurements of scattering from various fabricated physical models, such as plates with rough surface and various inclusions in their volume, to imitate scattering from the littoral ocean bottom (e.g., rough sandy sediments with inclusions of shells, rocks and gas bubbles).

12: Bayesian Inversion of Seabed Scattering Data
The long-term goals of this work are to improve ocean acoustic reverberation modeling and sonar performance predictions in shallow waters by developing inversion procedures to estimate seabed scattering and geoacoustic properties with uncertainties, as well as investigating the importance of various scattering processes. Important issues include: investigating the angular and frequency dependen...
متن کاملGeoacoustic Modeling: High-Frequency Scattering from Heterogeneous Rough Sea Beds at Shallow Grazing Angles (extension)
There are different mechanisms of seabed scattering which are due to different types of seabed medium irregularities, which are roughness of the seabed interfaces, and volume heterogeneity: continuous (spatial fluctuations of the sediment acoustic parameters) and discrete scatterers (or sediment inclusions, such as relatively large shells and shell fragments). Given different environmental cond...
متن کاملRemote sensing of sediment characteristics by optimized echo-envelope matching.
A sediment geoacoustic parameter estimation technique is described which compares bottom returns, measured by a calibrated monostatic sonar oriented within 15 degrees of vertical and having a 10 degree-21 degree beamwidth, with an echo envelope model based on high-frequency (10-100 kHz) incoherent backscatter theory and sediment properties such as: mean grain size, strength, and exponent of the...
متن کاملAn Initial Assessment of Effects of Seafloor Roughness on Coherent Sound Reflection from the Seafloor
A roughened seafloor may be expected to scatter incident sound at non-specular angles, but also to reflect coherently at the specular angle, with some loss of amplitude attributed to the scattering and some loss attributed to sound transmission into, and absorption within, the seafloor. Our initial expectation was that a reasonable estimation of the total coherent reflection loss, at a given gr...
متن کاملEffects of Changing Roughness on Acoustic Scattering: (1) Natural Changes
High resolution (~0.1-1 cm) measurements of seafloor roughness with underwater stereo photogrammetry were performed during the shallow-water SAX99 acoustic experiment. Changes in morphology due to hydrodynamic and biological processes were observed, and documented by changes in the values of measured slope and spectral strength of the seafloor roughness power spectrum. Roughness spectral and ge...
