Acoustic Tomography

A day in the life of an acoustic tomography mooring

The link below describes the deployment of an acoustic tomography source/receiver mooring from the R/V Revelle. This mooring was deployed for the Hawaiian Ocean Mixing Experiment (H.O.M.E.) project. The page shows various stages of mooring deployment in a series of photos with extended captions.

A review paper from the OceanObs'09 conference, Venice, Italy

For the 2009 OceanObs conference in Venice, Italy we wrote a followup review paper to the OceanObs'99 conference. The community white paper updates quite a lot of review material. The reference for this paper is:

A review paper from the OceanObs'99 conference, St. Rafael, France

During 1999-2 an international collaboration wrote a paper for the OceanObs '99 conference held in St. Rafael, FR in the fall of 1999. The manuscript was prepared for the proceedings of the conference. The white paper includes a great deal of review material. (March 2001/Final version December 2001) (8MB pdf file). The reference for this paper is:

A poster reviewing past applications of tomography and future directions

Bruce Howe and I put together a generic poster for tomography based on the OceanObs paper . You can download this 8 MB POSTER as a pdf file. It is set up to print a 36"X72" poster. This poster was completed in 2001.

Representers for tomography and a shallow-water ocean model

Class notes on representers for acoustic tomography and a shallow-water ocean model. These notes stem from work I did while attending Andrew Bennett's summer school on data assimilation during summer 1999. The document was written in December 1999.    Representers for Tomography  (272 KB pdf file)
