Abstrakt: The accuracy of matched-field techniques for source localization in a shallow-water waveguide is dependent upon realistic modeling of the geoacoustic environment. A study was conducted to investigate the sensitivity of source localization to erroneous estimates of the geoacoustic properties (sound speed, density, and attenuation) of the sediment. A range-independent normal-mode computer program was used to calculate acoustic fields from a midwater source received on a vertical array of 21 hydrophones spanning the water column. Errors in estimates of range and depth are presented as a function of mismatch of each geoacoustic property. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
