In this paper we report the measurements of temporal coherence of acoustic signals
propagating through shallow water using data from three experiments in three different parts …

A new model for tidally generated internal solitons in the ocean is advanced, based on a
little-known asymptotic analytical solution to the weakly nonlinear Korteweg–de Vries …

Two numerical techniques are proposed to construct a polynomial chaos (PC)
representation of an arbitrary second-order random vector. In the first approach, a PC …

Results of a computer simulation study are presented for acoustic propagation in a shallow
water, anisotropic ocean environment. The water column is characterized by random volume …

This paper applies the mode coupling equation to calculate the mode-coupling matrix for
nonlinear internal waves appearing as a train of solitons. The calculation is applied to an …

The 1995 Shallow Water Acoustics in a Random Medium (SWARM) experiment [Apel et al.,
IEEE J. Ocean. Eng. 22, 445–464 (1997)] was conducted off the New Jersey coast. The …

The spatial and temporal variability of the acoustic field in the region of a strong coastal
shelfbreak front are examined, using the high-resolution environmental data from the 1996 …

Internal solitary waves evolving with time in shallow water are known to affect sound
propagation significantly. Unlike prior work studying the acoustic effects of individual internal …

A numerical study of beamforming on a horizontal array is performed in a shallow water
waveguide where a summer thermocline is perturbed by a time evolving realization of an …

To investigate acoustic effects of nonlinear internal waves, the two southwest tracks of the
SWARM 95 experiment are considered. An airgun source produced broadband acoustic …
