Waveform inversion for the geoacoustic parameters of the ocean bottom
SD Rajan - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1992 - pubs.aip.org
The geoacoustic properties of ocean sediments in deep water environments are important
parameters necessary to predict low‐frequency acoustic fields in the water column. A full
wave method for obtaining the geoacoustic parameters from the acoustic field measured as
a function of range with a cw source is presented. By assuming horizontal stratification, the
unknown geoacoustic parameters are reduced to functions of one variable, ie, depth. The
problem of estimating the geoacoustic properties of the ocean floor is then cast as a …
