Scheme of the shallow water problem model

What model do we construct

Acoustical model

of intensity fluctuations

of sound propagating

in presence of

temperature front,

internal waves,

depth slopes

and other

waveguide obstacles.

Polar front in the Barents sea

Oceanographic data was given by James F. Lynch fromWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution, MA, USA

Link to experiment Shallow Water Acoustic Remote

Measurements (SWARM’95)

New Jersey continental shelf, USA

A kind of data fromour American colleagues

Correlation of our model with the experiment

Data processing …… and results!

Delaware workshop on SWARM’95

April, 2005

Delaware workshop is going on

Future work

1. Creating complex sound field model, especially

phasefront model2. Comparing results of our

model with data of the experiment SWARM’06
