THE FORMATION OF ACOUSTICAL FIELDS IN OCEANIC WAVEGUIDES

The papers collected in this book are focused on the interrelated problems of low-frequency acoustic fields synthesis and analysis in oceanic waveguides. Wave fields formed by the underwater sources of different origin (localized sources and antennas, regular and random scatterers, random inhomogeneities of the oceanic medium itself) are examined to develop new approaches and techniques of remote acoustic sensing of the ocean, acoustic tomography techniques included. The results of theoretical studies and experiments carried out both in laboratory and in the ocean are presented and discussed. Particular attention is paid to the reconstruction of oceanic inhomogeneities and estimating the related performances of underwater receiving systems aimed at practical applications.

The book is intended for the researchers and students engaged in the fields of underwater acoustics, wave propagation, femote sensing and antennas.
