This paper presents single receiver geoacoustic inversion of a combustive sound source signal, recorded during the 2017 Seabed Characterization Experiment on the New England Mud Patch, in an area where water depth is around 70 m. There are two important features in this study. First, it is shown that high-order modes can be resolved and estimated using warping (up to mode number 18 over the frequency band 20-440 Hz). However, it is not possible to determine mode numbers from the data, so that classical inversion methods that require mode identification cannot be applied. To solve this issue, an inversion algorithm that jointly estimates geoacoustic properties and identifies mode number is proposed. It is successfully applied on a range-dependent track, and provides a reliable range-average estimation of geoacoustic properties of the mud layer, an important feature of the seabed on the experimental area.

This article presents a spatial environmental inversion scheme using broadband impulse signals with deep learning (DL) to model a single spatially-varying sediment layer over a fixed basement. The method is applied to data from the Seabed Characterization Experiment 2022 (SBCEX22) in the New England Mud-Patch (NEMP). Signal Underwater Sound (SUS) explosive charges generated impulsive signals recorded by a distributed array of bottom-moored hydrophones.

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), converting fiber-optic cables into dense acoustic sensors, is a promising technology that offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for long-term, high-resolution studies in ocean acoustics. In this paper, the telecommunication cable of Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) is used to explore the feasibility of cable localization and shallow-water sound propagation with a mobile acoustic source. The MVCO DAS array records coherent, high-quality acoustic signals in the frequency band of 105-160 Hz, and a two-step inversion method is used to improve the location accuracy of DAS channels, reducing the location uncertainty to ∼2 m.

The low-order normal modes with small grazing angles (SGA) often control long-range sound field characteristics in shallow water. The SGA reflection loss from a half-space low-velocity bottom (LVB) is independent of the sound attenuation, except around the angle of complete transmission; the SGA bottom reflection loss (BRL) from a seafloor with a top low-velocity layer is very insensitive to the LVB attenuation also, except around a few selected frequencies. Thus, the "seafloor velocity-attenuation coupling" problem will be more fatal for LVB geo-acoustic inversions.

Geoacoustic inversion can be a computationally expensive task in high-dimensional parameter spaces, typically requiring thousands of forward model evaluations to estimate the geoacoustic environment. We demonstrate Bayesian optimization (BO), an efficient global optimization method capable of estimating geoacoustic parameters in seven-dimensional space within 100 evaluations instead of thousands. BO iteratively searches parameter space for the global optimum of an objective function, defined in this study as the Bartlett power.

This paper provides a step-by-step description of integrated methodology for quantification and prediction of gas (methane, CH) content dynamics in shallow aquatic sediments under changing spatial and temporal conditions. Presence of gas bubbles even in small concentrations significantly affects sediment compressibility, which in turn decreases sound speed in sediment. Our integrated methodology consists of two basic steps.
