High-Frequency Ocean Acoustics Conference

March 1-5, 2004 La Jolla, California

An international conference sponsored by ONR and organized by,

Center for Ocean Research, Science Applications International Corporation

and 

Marine Physical Laboratory, University of California San Diego

 

  Co-sponsored by the Acoustical Society of America     

 

 

Organizers: Michael B. Porter, Martin Siderius and William Kuperman

This conference will emphasize the physics and applications of ocean acoustics in the frequency band of 2-50 kHz. The focus will be on waveguide propagation and scattering where the acoustic field has multiple interactions with the boundaries. General topics of interest are described in the following list:

·         Environmental effects on acoustic communications

·         High-frequency channel characterization (coherence, time-angle spread, Doppler spread)

·         Localization and tracking

·         Geoacoustic inversion

·         Channel modeling (computational acoustics)

·         Scattering from the surface, bottom and volume (bubbles, biologics and turbulence)

·         Marine mammal detection, classification and tracking

·         Ambient noise

·         Tomography

·         Waveguide Reverberation

·         Time-reversal acoustics
