Summary
Environment plays a significant role in JWARS acoustic sensor modeling
Environmental factors which explicitly effect sensor performance
Atmospheric
- Wind speed
- Rain Intensity
Water mass
- Transmission loss
- Ambient Noise
- Shipping Noise
- Wind Noise
- Rain Noise
- Turbulence Noise
- Reverberation (for active sonar under development)
- Bottom Reverberation – Bottom type and depth
- Volume Reverberation – Deep Scattering Layer
- Surface Reverberation – Sea state
