Shallow-Water Acoustics
Abstract
This chapter discusses ocean acoustics in “shallow water,” which may be taken to be the continental shelf region between the beach/shore and the continental shelf break (including the latter). Bathymetrically, this is generally from 0 to 200 m water depth. Both low- and high-frequency acoustics are considered. The continental shelf has very complex geology, abundant biological life, intricate physical oceanography, and a large amount of anthropogenic influences, so it is not a simple region to characterize or model acoustically. However, that very complication also makes continental shelf acoustics one of ...
