ONR Postdoctoral Fellowship: Investigation of Complex Range-Dependent Shallow Water Sound Transmission
نویسنده
چکیده
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 develop hypotheses suitable for testing with at-sea experiments in waveguides with sandy bottoms. The third is to conduct experiments with a near bottom sound source and array to quantify the characteristics of the evanescent, compressional, shear, and slow wave fields.

ONR Postdoctoral Fellowship: Geoacoustic Inversion and Source Localization in a Randomly Fluctuating Shallow Water Environment
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...
متن کاملThe impact of wind-generated bubble layer on matched field sound source localization in shallow water (Research Article)
This paper investigates the effect of the wind-generated bubble layer on the underwater sound source localization in the Persian Gulf shallow-water environment through computer simulation and the matched field processing technique. An underwater sound source of 2-10 kHz located at depths of 10, 45, and 75 m was considered at a distance of 4 km from a linear vertical receiver array. The estimati...
متن کاملSound Speed and Attenuation in Multiphase Media
One research goal developed from conducted shallow water (SW) acoustic transmission experiments in sandy-silty areas [1] revealed a nonlinear power law frequency-dependent attenuation at lower frequencies ( ≤ 1 kHz ) consistent with results reviewed in [2-4] and the observations by the ONR-HEP program. The Biot Theory [5] predicts that the sandysediment frequency-dependent attenuation should be...
متن کامل11: Geoacoustic Inversion in Shallow Water
The ability to predict transmission loss of sound propagating in shallow water is constrained by the knowledge of the geoacoustic properties of the bottom. The long term objectives of this research project are related to the investigation of experimental methods and inversion techniques for estimating parameters of geoacoustic models of the ocean bottom and the associated uncertainties in the m...
متن کاملInversion for Geoacoustic Model Parameters in Range-Dependent Shallow Water Environments from the SW06 Experiment
The ability to predict sound propagation in shallow water is limited by the knowledge of the geoacoustic properties of the ocean bottom. The long term goals of this research are: (1) to develop full field inversion methods for estimating parameters of geoacoustic models of the ocean bottom and the associated uncertainties in the model parameter values; and (2) to evaluate the performance of the...
