The restricting effect of our environment on sonar has lengthy been acknowledged as a massive problem to technological know-how and expertise. because the niche shifts in the direction of the lit toral, environmental impacts develop into dominant either in time and house. The manyfold demanding situations surround prediction, dimension, overview and adaptive responses to maximise the effectiveness of structures. even supposing MCM and ASW actions are dom inated in numerous methods and scales by way of the surroundings, either conflict parts have needed to think about the considerably altering necessities posed through operations within the littoraL the elemental medical concerns considering constructing versions referring to acoustics to the surroundings are matched in trouble through the necessity for facts for his or her validation and eventual useful use for prediction. typically the necessity is for online model of structures to altering conditions when different wishes are for the Ionger time period making plans actions. This publication and the connected full-color CD are the complaints of a convention organ ised by means of the SACLANT Undersea study Centre, held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, on 16-20 September 2002. the basic difficulties linked to environmental 1 variability and sonar have been explored at a prior SACLANTCEN convention in 1990. those difficulties haven't long gone away yet, at the one hand are exaggerated by way of the movement to the littoral and nevertheless, are open to treatrnent in new ways in which advances in expertise and laptop energy allow.

A Gaussian standard distribution is shown for comparison. The spatial temperature records of the towed sections show pronounced downward excursions of the contour lines similar to those in Fig. 4. The asymmetry of intemal fluctuations is reflected by the distributions of contour line depth. Throughout the thermocline, they deviate significantly from a Gaussian normal distribution (Fig. 6). A primitive ray tracing routine was used for the simulation of acoustic pulses propagating through a real fluctuating sound velocity field .

Slightly modified refraction in the water column may shift the point of contact with the bottom to a facet with different slope, so that differential adjustment of the eigenray path will not bring the retlected ray back to the desired direction. With bottom roughness single 26 J. SELLSCHOPP ET AL. eigemays die and come to life much easier than with a smooth bottom (see Fig. 7). Because multipath arrival pattems become less stable, matched field processing is a challenging task in this environment.
