Underwater acoustics is employed in ocean engineering, seafloor mapping, defence, navigation and fisheries, and one of the major technologies in the exploration and exploitation of the oceans. This book provides an introduction, covering: physical processes and their basic modelling; description and assessment of the various technologies; and different underwater acoustic systems and their practical applications. It also focuses on propagation, reflection and scattering by targets, noise, transducers and signal processing. «
