Quantifying Geoacoustic Uncertainty and Seabed Variability for Propagation Uncertainty
Propagation and reverberation of acoustic fields in shallow waters depend strongly on the spatial variability of seabed geoacoustic parameters, and lack of knowledge of seabed variability is often a limiting factor in acoustic modeling applications. However, direct sampling (e.g., coring) of vertical and lateral variability is expensive and laborious, and matched-field and other long-range inve...
متن کاملSpatial Variability and Robust Interpolation of Seafloor Sediment Properties Using the SEABED Data Bases
There are huge amounts of data that describe the character of the seabed based on samplings and direct inspections made over decades. That data continues to grow rapidly and are still the richest and most detailed source of seabed information, an essential adjunct of modern remote sensed data types. One impediment to the wider use of the sample data is that it is difficult to draw area-maps (gr...
متن کاملTowards Quantitative Spatial Models of Seabed Sediment Composition
There is a need for fit-for-purpose maps for accurately depicting the types of seabed substrate and habitat and the properties of the seabed for the benefits of research, resource management, conservation and spatial planning. The aim of this study is to determine whether it is possible to predict substrate composition across a large area of seabed using legacy grain-size data and environmental...
متن کاملA New Radiometric Correction Method for Side-Scan Sonar Images in Consideration of Seabed Sediment Variation
Affected by the residual of time varying gain, beam patterns, angular responses, and sonar altitude variations, radiometric distortion degrades the quality of side-scan sonar images and seriously affects the application of these images. However, existing methods cannot correct distortion effectively, especially in the presence of seabed sediment variation. This study proposes a new radiometric ...
متن کاملEffects of Benthopelagic Animals on Seabed Properties
The long-term goals of this research are to improve the ability of benthic biologists and biological oceanographers to observe life on and in the seabed; to describe the interactions between the animals that live there, their neighbors and their food; to improve our understanding of the coupling between the benthic and the pelagic communities; and to assess biologically mediated changes in thos...
