The long-term goal is to develop passive modalities of acoustic ocean monitoring techniques such as acoustic tomography or acoustic thermometry using Cross-correlation processing of ocean ambient noise. Extracting the coherent component of the ambient noise field propagating between a pair of passive receivers provides a means for passive acoustic sensing of the ocean environment. For instance, the arrival-times structure of the ambient noise cross-correlation time-function between a pair of receivers can yield an estimate of the arrival structure (or wavefronts) of the actual time-domain Green s function between these receivers, as if one of the passive receiver acted as an active source. Hence cross-correlation processing of ocean ambient noise has been suggested as a potential means for developing noise-based (or passive) modalities of acoustic ocean monitoring techniques such as acoustic tomography or acoustic thermometry The main objective of this year research was to demonstrate that coherent arrivals can indeed be extracted from cross-correlations of very-low frequency ocean ambient noise (1 Hz f 20 Hz) between pairs of hydrophones of the same hydroacoustic station located in the SOFAR channel of the Indian Ocean.
