In this paper, we review some recent new results in shallow, coastal waters from both ocean acoustics (the study of how sound propagates and scatters in the ocean) and acoustical oceanography (the study of ocean processes using acoustics as a tool).

Real-time auralization of physical models has attracted vivid interest over the last years. This is mainly due to the rising computational capabilities of personal computers and the accessibility of specialized (external) accelerating hardware, like GPGPUs (generalpurpose graphics processing units) or FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays). In this work, an extended framework of real-time physi...
