2 683: Marine Bioacoustics and Geoacoustics
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Both active and passive acoustic methods of measuring marine organisms, the seafloor, and their interactions are reviewed. Acoustic methods of detecting, observing, and quantifying marine biological organisms are described, as are acoustic methods of measuring geological properties of the seafloor, including depth, and surficial and volumetric composition. Interactions are also described, including effects of biological scatterers on geological measurements, and effects of seafloor scattering on measurements of biological scatterers on, in, or immediately above the seafloor. Methods of determining small-scale material properties of organisms and the seafloor are outlined. Operational methods are emphasized, and corresponding measurement theory is described. Case studies are used in illustration. Principles of acoustic-system calibration are elaborated.

2 684: Wave Scattering by Rough Surfaces and Inhomogeneous Media
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
An advanced-level subject designed to give students a working knowledge of current techniques in this area. Material is presented principally in the context of ocean acoustics, but can be used in other acoustic and electromagnetic applications. Includes fundamentals of wave propagation through, and/or scattering by: random media, extended coherent structures, rough surfaces, and discrete scatterers.

2 685: Numerical Methods in Wave Scattering
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Fundamental equations for acoustic and electromagnetic waves are derived from first principles. Boundary, or interface, conditions introduced. The development of numerical methods to solve wave equations in interior or exterior domains, using boundary-element and finite-element techniques, is emphasized. Spectral techniques are also developed. A number of technical computational issues are addressed, including discretization of geometry, order of approximation, efficiency, and analysis of numerical schemes. Validation is an essential exercise. Validation examples are drawn from analytical solutions for separable shapes. Applications of numerical methods are presented for acoustic scattering by marine organisms of complex shape and structure, and optical scattering by dielectric bodies. Assignments entail code development.

2 687: Time Series Analysis and System Identification
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Covers matched filtering, power spectral (PSD) estimation, and adaptive signal processing / system identification algorithms. Algorithm development is framed as an optimization problem, and optimal and approximate solutions are described. Reviews time-varying systems, first and second moment representations of stochastic processes, and state-space models. Also covers algorithm derivation, performance analysis, and robustness to modeling errors. Algorithms for PSD estimation, the LMS and RLS algorithms, and the Kalman Filter are treated in detail.

2 688: Principles of Oceanographic Instrument Systems -- Sensors and Measurements
3.00 Credits
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Introduces theoretical and practical principles of design of oceanographic sensor systems. Transducer characteristics for acoustic, current, temperature, pressure, electric, magnetic, gravity, salinity, velocity, heat flow, and optical devices. Limitations on these devices imposed by ocean environment. Signal conditioning and recording; noise, sensitivity, and sampling limitations; standards. Principles of state-of-the-art systems being used in physical oceanography, geophysics, submersibles, acoustics discussed in lectures by experts in these areas. Day cruises in local waters during which the students will prepare, deploy and analyze observations from standard oceanographic instruments constitute the lab work for this subject.
