Correlating measured oceanographic and acoustic variability toward understanding uncertainty transfer

2012 
The Recognized Environmental Picture experiment 2011 (REP11) was conducted to support research in the areas of battlespace characterization, quantifying uncertainty, and decision support. By integrating results from these three areas, the goal is to incorporate physics based uncertainty transfer in models driving decision support tools. Generically, this is accomplished by parameterizing the environment according to need and providing the best knowledge available for each parameter including uncertainty. Experimentally, the research requires information on both the input and output sides of acoustic propagation models used for tactical prediction or decision aids. This talk describes an experimental effort to contemporaneously measure both oceanographic and acoustic quantities over a wide range of spatio-temporal scales using a combination of mobile, autonomous, and fixed assets. By measuring these quantities over the course of several days and repeating set geometries, many realizations of the oceanograp...
