Acoustic signal dispersion and distortion by shallow undersea transmission channels
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The undersea littoral is an adverse medium for acoustic signal transmission to horizontal ranges of many water depths. Reflections and scattering in the bounded, nonhomogeneous channel disperse the arrivaj of received ... -
An approximate form of the Rayleigh reflection loss and its phase: application to reverberation calculation
(NURC, 2012/04)A useful approximation to the Rayleigh reflection coefficient for two half-spaces composed of water over sediment is derived. This exhibits dependence on angle that may deviate considerably from linear in the interval ... -
Bottom reflection properties deduced from an ambient noise: simulation of a processing technique
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/11)A promising new method has already been proposed [SACLANTCEN SM-387] to calculate bottom reflection loss from ambient noise directionality. Although this method has been tried experimentally at more than 11 sites under ... -
Bottom-interacting ocean acoustics: proceedings of a conference held at SACLANTCEN on 9-13 June 1980
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1980/07) -
Distortion of bottom reflected pulses
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1966/03)The theory of linear systems combined with numerical Fourier transformations and inversion is used to obtain the shape of a general pressure pulse after its reflection from a general multilayered sea floor. The method is ... -
Effects of sea-ice ridges on sound propagation in the Arctic Ocean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)An environmental/acoustic model of sound propagation in the Arctic Ocean, which accounts for reflection losses from ridged sea ice, has been developed. In this model sea-ice ridges are represented as infinitely long, ... -
Impulse response of a layered bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1967/01)Numerical methods are used for the Fourier inversion of the frequency-dependent loss transfer function. Because of the non-zero finite values of the integrand for an infinite high frequency, the asymptotic value is subtracted ... -
Ocean-bottom reflectivity (a point of view)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)The analysis procedures for extracting bottom loss values from pulsed acoustic signals that have interacted with the ocean bottom do not inherently consider sub-bottom refraction and reflection of sound, which are important ... -
The influence of a low velocity layer on the reflectivity from the sea floor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1966/05)The influence on the reflectivity of a low velocity layer on top of a sand half-space has been investigated. By expressing sediment density and velocity in terms of porosity it has been possible to use this quantity as an ...
