Coastal Acoustic Tomography consists of three sections, beginning with the specifics required for designing a Coastal Acoustic Tomography (CAT) experiment and operating the CAT system in the coastal seas. The section that follows presents the procedure for data analyses. In the third section, various application examples of CAT to coastal/shallow seas (obtained in various locations) are provided. These sections are broken down into four kinds of methods: horizontal-slice inversion, vertical-slice inversion, modal expansion method and data assimilation. Coastal Acoustic Tomography emphasizes how dynamic phenomena occurring in coastal/shallow seas can be analysed using the standard method of inversion and data assimilation. The book is relevant for physical oceanographers, ocean environmentalists and ocean dynamists and it focuses on their main interest, which is of the event being observed rather than the intrinsic details of observational processes. Various application examples of dynamic phenomena which have been successfully measured by coastal acoustic tomography are also included. Provides the information needed for researchers and graduate students in physical oceanography, ocean-fluid dynamics and ocean environments to apply Ocean Acoustic Tomography (OAT) to their own fieldsPresents the benefits of using acoustic tomography, including less disturbance to aquatic environments versus other monitoring methodsIncludes the assimilation of CAT data into a coastal sea circulation model, a powerful tool to predict coastal-sea environmental changes INDICE: Section I: Basic Knowledge on Coastal Acoustic Tomography 1.
