  2. ARL Outline The University of Texas at Austin • Description of measurements and analysis approach • Inversion and maximum entropy principle • Application to low frequency data taken on the New Jersey continental shelf  Inversion for global minimum  Marginal probability distributions  Sensitivity to signal processing  Transmission loss uncertainty  Comparison to measured uncertainty

  3. ARL Description of measurements and analysis The University of Texas at Austin From limited acoustic measurements in ocean water column • Inverse problem solved for global minimum environmental solution  Better resolution of attenuation is inferred from long range propagation data –Inference of Biot parameter bounds –Scattering parameters inferred from reverberation measurements –Modeling of wind generated ambient noise

  4. ARL Inversion in a nutshell The University of Texas at Austin Consider a space Γ with volume Ω that contains source-receiver positions, kinematical parameters, and ocean waveguide parameters W is a vector in Γ D - Measured data vector M - Modeled data vector An objective of cost function defined C( W ) = C( D , M ( W )) ~ 1 - correlation ( M · D ) Inversion algorithm is used to explore C( W ) Simulated annealing is used to find the global minimum C min = C( W gm )

  5. ARL Description of measurements and analysis The University of Texas at Austin But • Uncertainty of waveguide parameters leads to uncertainty in propagation • How does one quantify the uncertainty? • Under what circumstances does uncertainty obtained from models and inversion methods = true environmental uncertainty? • How does this uncertainty affect inferences of seabed physics from basic measurements? Therefore, one needs a mathematical framework from which to compute probability distributions

  6. ARL Ideas for distribution The University of Texas at Austin • Cost measures error relative to horizontal stratification • Uncertainties arise from small fluctuations relative to horizontal stratification • One does not know the distribution; thus derive the most conservative distribution that only predicts specific constraints

  7. Uncertainty from Maximum ARL Entropy Principle The University of Texas at Austin What is the probability distribution for a specific parameter in W or transmission loss? Following Jaynes (Phys. Rev. 106 1957) Gibbs or Shannon relative Entropy Analogy with statistical mechanics for a closed system in thermodynamic equilibrium with heat reservoir is global minimum determined from simulated annealing average value of cost function space = 1/N ∑ C(W i )

  8. Maximum entropy principle and ARL canonical ensemble The University of Texas at Austin canonical ensemble partition function Average <C> constraint determines T Entropy in terms of Z, T, and <C>

  9. ARL Mean, standard deviations, and marginals The University of Texas at Austin Reduced or marginal distribution

  10. ARL Evaluation of volume integrals The University of Texas at Austin A point in Γ

  11. ARL Volume integrations The University of Texas at Austin • Sampling of Γ by random walks in limit that N becomes large ~ Monte Carlo sampling • Convergence criteria: Marginal distributions remain unchanged when number of samples increased • ~ 2x10 6 samples appears sufficient for problem considered

Includes amplitude information to fit TL shape. Greater weight for higher RL data. Increases number of unknowns.

  21.
