The Target and Reverberation EXperiment 2013 (TREX13) included a comprehensive reverberation field project in the frequency band of 2–10 kHz, and was carried out off the coast of Panama City, FL, USA, from April 21 to May 17, 2013. A spatially fixe

Reverberation measurements obtained with towed arrays are a valuable tool to extract information about the ocean environment. By superimposing a polar plot of reverberation beam time series on bathymetry maps, bottom features (often uncharted) can be

False alarms arising from sonar clutter are one of the primary limitations to the use of active sonar in shallow-water environments. A statistical analysis of experimental data obtained for one type of clutter—echoes from a shipwreck—is presented

Sonar clutter events are one of the primary limitations of long-range active sonar systems within the littoral environment. For this reason, research towards understanding their acoustic return characteristics and ultimately their mitigation are of h

Long-range reverberation data were gathered on towed arrays during the NATO Rapid Response exercises (1996–1998) and the Boundary Characterization experiments (2000–2004). The primary tools were various SACLANTCEN/NURC arrays towed by the NATO Re

Some directional characteristics of observed clutter and reverberation are presented using line arrays with cardioid elements. It is shown that the cardioid arrays break the left/right ambiguity for reverberation sources above ~600-700 Hz. Data analy

This paper presents some new results from measurements of seafloor reverberation and pulse spreading using horizontal and vertical line arrays. The principal objective of this paper is to extract useful geoacoustic and bottom-scattering parameters th

Ocean acoustic propagation and reverberation in continental shelf regions is often controlled by the seabed and sea surface boundaries. A series of three multi-national and multi-disciplinary experiments was conducted between 2000-2002 to identify an

Observations of non-Rayleigh acoustic backscatter in data taken during the 2015 Littoral Continuous Active Sonar (LCAS) experiment are discussed using K-distribution shape parameter and comparison with spatial correlation width estimates. Data were c
