Acoustic Tomography with Navy Sonars

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA627174 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The long-term goals of this research are to determine the reliability of predicted sounds over long distances in the ocean and to use sounds to understand some physical changes by means of acoustical tomography. SOund SUrveillance Systems SOSUS have traditionally been used to obtain data for acoustical tomography. The Navy has many more sonars than these, and their use should significantly enhance the kinds of acoustical investigations available for study and provide more tomographic paths than possible with SOSUS.
