1 Geoacoustic inversion of horizontal line array ship-noise data from the Barents Sea

Recent interest in matched-field inversion (MFI) for the estimation of seabed geoacoustic model parameters has expanded from traditional use of high-level controlled sources and a vertical line array of sensors to applications including ship-noise sources with towed [1] and bottom-moored [2] horizon...

Description
Summary:Recent interest in matched-field inversion (MFI) for the estimation of seabed geoacoustic model parameters has expanded from traditional use of high-level controlled sources and a vertical line array of sensors to applications including ship-noise sources with towed [1] and bottom-moored [2] horizontal line arrays (HLAs). A relevant question is the information content of such data. This paper presents results from MFI of low-frequency data from a relatively quiet surface ship recorded on a long
