Acoustic data, transmissometer data, and calculations are presented which indicate that high-frequency
acoustic backscattering systems can become a valuable tool in the remote monitoring of suspended
particle distributions and active resuspension areas. Data are also presented which show that acoustic
backscattering systems can be used to remotely detect slope/shelf water frontal zones. Towed acoustic
systems should be able to map the extent of the frontal zone and add significantly to the understanding of
frontal zone processes.

Physically constrained maximum likelihood (PCML) mode filtering and its application as a pre-processing method for underwater acoustic communication
Papp, Joseph C. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2009-09)Mode filtering is most commonly implemented using the sampled mode shape or pseudoinverse algorithms. Buck et al placed these techniques in the context of a broader maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework. However, the MAP ... -
A distributed approach to underwater acoustic communications
Bohner, Christopher George (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2003-09)A novel distributed underwater acoustic networking (UAN) protocol suitable for ad-hoc deployments of both stationary and mobile nodes dispersed across a relatively wide coverage area is presented. Nodes are dynamically ...
