Accounting for Ocean and Seabed Variability in Oceanic Waveguide Parameter Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-term objective of this work is to develop methods for rapid assessment of seabed variability combined with detailed localized geoacoustic inversions to characterize the bottom for shallow-water environments. Consideration is given to spatial and temporal variability of water column properties common to shallow-water environments and their impact on inversion results. Advances made in the work will contribute to development of unified ocean/ seabed/ acoustic models and improved prediction capabilities for USW tactical decision aids.

A Uniqueness Theorem of the 3-Dimensional Acoustic Scattering Problem in a Shallow Ocean with a Fluid-like Seabed
This paper shows that under the assumption of the out-going radiation conditions at infinity, the time-harmonic acoustic scattered field off a sound-soft solid in a shallow ocean with a fluid-like seabed is unique in C2 M1 C2 M2 C Rh Ω . Here M1 is the water part, M2 the seabed, Rh the waveguide and Ω the solid object. The associated modal problem is studied and a representation formula for the...
متن کاملEffects of surface wave breaking on the oceanic boundary layer
[1] Existing laboratory studies suggest that surface wave breaking may exert a significant impact on the formation and evolution of oceanic surface boundary layer, which plays an important role in the ocean‐atmosphere coupled system. However, present climate models either neglect the effects of wave breaking or treat them implicitly through some crude parameterization. Here we use a one‐dimensi...
متن کاملInternal waves in a three-layer bubbly waveguide
In many oceanic situations, clouds, or layers of bubbles are present which may influence the larger-scale dynamics. A two-dimensional model of a diluted locally monodisperse mixture of an incompressible fluid with gas bubbles is used to model and study such situations. The problem is simplified by ignoring the horizontal variability in the structure of the bubble layer and by focusing instead o...
متن کاملTime-frequency modeling of shallow water environment: rigid vs. fluid seabed
When the ocean seabed is considered to be rigid, the ideal waveguide model can be used to model the shallow water environment. However, a more realistic ocean waveguide model treats the ocean floor as a boundary between two different fluid media. In this paper, a frequency-domain characterization of shallow water environments is proposed based on this realistic waveguide model with a fluid boun...
متن کاملThe effects of ignored seabed variability in geoacoustic inversion.
Geoacoustic inversion using a matched-field inversion algorithm is a well-established technique for estimating the geoacoustic parameters of the seabed. This paper demonstrates how parameter estimation can be affected by unknown or wishfully ignored random range dependence of the true environment when the inversion model is--for practicality--assumed to be range independent. Simulations with co...
