A multitude of physical and biological processes occur in the ocean over a wide range of
temporal and spatial scales. Many of these processes are nonlinear and highly variable, and …

In this paper, we quantify the dynamical causes and uncertainties of striking differences in
acoustic transmission data collected on the shelf and shelfbreak in the northeastern Taiwan …

In order to understand the fluctuations imposed upon low frequency (50 to 500 Hz) acoustic
signals due to coastal internal waves, a large multilaboratory, multidisciplinary experiment …

Systems capable of forecasting ocean properties and acoustic performance in the littoral
ocean are becoming a useful capability for scientific and operational exercises. The …

The estimation of oceanic environmental and acoustical fields is considered as a single
coupled data assimilation problem. The four-dimensional data assimilation methodology …

Ocean science and ocean acoustics today are engaged in coupled interdisciplinary
research on both fundamental dynamics and applications. In this context interdisciplinary …

The SWAM'99 (Shallow Water Acoustic Modeling, 1999) workshop on the topic of
benchmarking shallow water range-dependent propagation modeling was held in Monterey …

The efficient interdisciplinary 4D data assimilation with nonlinear models via error subspace
statistical estimation (ESSE) is reviewed and exemplified. ESSE is based on evolving an …

A hybrid inversion scheme is used for the inversion of bottom geoacoustic properties using
synthetic data as well as broadband signals from explosive sources. This technique is …
