A short historical overview of matched-field processing (MFP) is followed by background
material in both ocean acoustics and array processing needed for MFP. Specific algorithms …

The increase in urbanization and the progressive development of marine industries have led
to the appearance of a new kind of pollution called “noise pollution”. This pollution exerts an …

Presented in a clear and concise way as an introductory text and practical handbook, the
book provides the basic physical phenomena governing underwater acoustical waves …

This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the theory of sound propagation in the
ocean. The text treats both ray and wave propagation and pays considerable attention to …

This monograph is concerned with the fundamentals of up-to-date geo metrical optics
treated as an approximate method of wave theory. Geometrical optics has changed …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides a review of current operational practice and of
advanced data assimilation techniques in meteorology. Numerical models can be used to …

This newest edition adds new material to all chapters, especially in mathematical
propagation models and special applications and inverse techniques. It has updated …

This is the story of the marriage of two disciplines: physical oceanography and ocean
acoustics. It was a marriage of convenience, but with mutual respect, even love. I have spent …

The study of sound wave propagation in moving inhomogeneous media is an important part
of acoustics and is often called'acoustics in moving media'. The motion of the medium may …

Shallow water acoustics (SWA), the study of how low and medium frequency sound
propagates and scatters on the continental shelves of the worlds oceans, has both technical …
