Discrete Scattering in Marine Sediments
نویسنده
چکیده
Testing various models and mechanisms of high frequency seabed scattering was one of primary goals of recent major experiments in sediment acoustics, SAX99 and SAX04, conducted near Ft. Walton Beach, Florida [1-4]. The models to test were based on various assumptions about dominance of certain scattering mechanisms and corresponding theories of scattering. Such models, confirmed by experiments, would provide necessary relationships between seabed parameters related to those mechanisms and characteristics of the scattered field. The relationships themselves are required for solution of practical problems such as prediction of bottom reverberation given seabed properties or/and inversion of various seabed parameters from acoustic scattering data.

Determination of sediments diameter using acoustic waves
The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...
متن کاملDilations, models, scattering and spectral problems of 1D discrete Hamiltonian systems
In this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1D discrete Hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the Hilbert space ℓ_{Ω}²(Z;C²) (Z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. We consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. For each of these cases we establish a self...
متن کاملThe effects of crude oil on marine microbial communities in sediments from the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea: A microcosm experiment
Changes in the microbial community in response to catastrophic oil spills in marine and fresh water environments have been well documented. Molecular methods provide tools for analyzing the entire bacterial community, covering also those bacteria that have not been cultured in the laboratory. In this study, four different microcosms were set up containing sediments collected from the Persian Gu...
