The propagation and reception of transient electromagnetic signals in the presence of a conducting half-space
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1961/05)In this paper a theoretical treatment is given of the short-distance propagation and reception of a step-function in the presence of a conducting half-space. The step-function is generated by a horizontal electric dipole ... -
Parametric relations on FM sonar
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1961/06)The report deals with the simple theory of FM sonar operations and shows how an optimum system may be designed. It also indicates the effects of doppler, the equipment and other factors which may be expected, in practice, ... -
On the recording of low frequency signals on magnetic tape
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1962/01)A short review of the different methods of recording on magnetic tape is given together with the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Particular emphasis was given to the ability to record low frequencies. This ... -
A note on convergent zones
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1962/02)An exact solution for ray paths near a sound channel with parabolic velocity profile is given for rays crossing the sound channel axis at small angles. The convergent zone for such rays for a source on axis is compared ... -
The temperature structure in the upper layers of the Ligurian Sea and its seasonal variations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1962/05)Water temperature measurements in the Ligurian Sea down to depths of 150 meters and meteorological data connected with these measurements for the period July 1960 to October 1961 are presented in the form of graphs and ... -
Some acoustical characteristics of underwater explosions of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1963/02)The acoustic characteristics of a hydrogen-oxygen explosive mixture are investigated in an attempt to find a substitute for solid explosives (e.g. TNT) which will achieve a simple underwater acoustic pulse uncomplicated ... -
The reverberation of sound from smooth ocean floors
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1963/02)The reverberations produced by a completely flat surface separating two homogeneous isotropic fluids is investigated. There is no effort to include the effect of rough surfaces which would be a logical extension of the ... -
An improvement in the design of the towed nuclear spin magnetometer
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1963/06) -
Comparative calibration programme within NATO countries
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1963/11)A NATO inter-laboratory programme of comparative hydrophone calibration is described including a description of the calibration facilities and methods of the participants. Hydrophones Type H29, F31, and F36 from the US ... -
Frequency deviation indicator
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1963/11)A new type of discriminator was developed to measure the frequency variation of electrical signals; it has the special feature to indicate without any delay the difference between the signal frequency and some fixed reference ... -
An acoustic system for releasing submerged oceanographic buoys from their anchors on demand using a 1.4 kc compact source
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1963/12)The paper describes an anchor-releasing device for the recovery of moored oceanographic equipment. The releaser is actuated by a remote acoustic signal emitted by a small and powerful 1400 cps sound source rather than by ... -
A theoretical and experimental study of the kinematics of a coring tube accelerated in water by hydrostatic pressure
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/03)The implosion at great marine depths of a system composed of a light tube, which is closed at one end by a light cap and at the other by a heavy piston, is examined theoretically and experimentally. Special attention has ... -
New mechanical equipment for handling oceanographic cables
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/04)The four pieces of equipment described in this report have been designed to facilitate the handling of oceanographic cables by replacing the heavy, and often expensive, equipment at present in use, with lighter, less ... -
The temperature structure in the upper layers of the Ligurian Sea and its seasonal variations: supplement to SACLANTCEN technical report no. 8
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/04)Water temperature measurements, down to depths of 150 meters, and metereological data connected with these measurements carried out in t 1e Ligurian Sea in May and November 1962, are presented in the form of graphs and ... -
An analogue recording system for recording pulse series
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/04)An analogue recording system for the visual display of pulse series intermittently received from oceanographic sensors is described. It is composed of a mechanically-modified pen recorder and a newly designed electronic ... -
Bibliography electromagnetic phenomena with special reference to ELF (1-300 cps)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/10)Contents: Propagation of EM Waves, Surface Waves, Ionosphere; Calculation of DC and EM Fields, Antennas; Analysis, Measuring Methods, Magnetometers, Correlation; Geomagnetic Fluctuations, Solar Activity, Earth Currents; ... -
Short-period vertical displacements of the upper layers in the Strait of Gibraltar: part 1 - text: part 2 - diagrams
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/11)The report is principally based on observations of short-term displacements made by the author in the summers of 1958, 1959, and 1961, using a thermistor chain. Pilot tubes installed on the thermistor chain made simultaneous ... -
The SACLANTCEN sphincter corer assembly = Carottier a sphincter du SACLANTCEN: part 1: a wide-diameter corer with waterproof core-catcher: part 2: an electrical engineering system
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1965/03)A long, wide-diameter corer with a waterproof core-catcher is described in Part I. Its design is closer to theoretically ideal proportions than most oceanographic corers, and the cores it provides appear to be unmodified ... -
A detailed study of sound reflections from a layered ocean bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1965/05)The effect of layered sediments on sound reflection from the ocean bottom has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Very detailed, systematic and computer-aided calculations of the reflection coefficient of ... -
EM phenomena in the ELF range: EM fields of submerged dipoles and finite antennas
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1965/06)The report is the first of a series of three that discusses various EM phenomena in the ELF range. The expressions for the various components of the EM field from submerged dipoles are presented. Although similar expressions ...
