ONR Postdoctoral Fellowship: Geoacoustic Inversion and Source Localization in a Randomly Fluctuating Shallow Water Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
The long-term goal of this project is to understand and mitigate the uncertainties of shallow-water acoustic inversions caused by strong oceanic temporal and spatial variability. To achieve this goal, we need to investigate the connection between acoustic signal fluctuations and the water-column variability, and further incorporate this connection into the acoustic inversions for increasing the inversion performance.

This Postdoctoral Fellowship has three main goals. The first is to quantify the water sediment interaction zone boundary condition for acoustical applications, using theory, numerical computation, experimental results, and constrained inversions. The second is to use range-dependent normal mode and parabolic equation codes along with geoacoustic profiles based on geophysical properties to devel...

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. Methods will be de...
متن کاملInversion for geometric and geoacoustic parameters in shallow water: Experimental results
Experimental results on the estimation of both geometric and geoacoustic parameters in shallow water are presented. Genetic algorithms are used for estimation of the forward model parameters; the estimated parameters are then used by a standard Bartlett processor for source localization. A stationary source at a range of 5.6 km and a moving source at ranges from 5.8-7.7 km were successfully loc...
متن کاملRange aliasing in frequency coherent geoacoustic inversion.
This paper discusses the effects of frequency selection on source localization and geoacoustic inversion methods that use frequency coherent objective functions. Matched-field processors based on frequency-coherent objective functions often have rapidly fluctuating range ambiguity surfaces. Insufficient sampling in frequency domain results in range aliasing terms that affect geoacoustic inversi...
