Comparison of Current Models for Water-Saturated Sand by Inversion of Reflection Loss Measurements

Friday, January 24, 2003 4:00 p.m. Dr. Marcia Isakson Applied Research Laboratories The University of Texas at Austin http://www.arlut.utexas.edu An accurate model of sediment acoustics is critical to understanding shallow water sound propagation and the detection and classification of buried objects such as mines. Indeed, as SONAR becomes more important in shallow water operations, an…
