  1. Measurements by sensors mounted on compact platforms are affected by sound scattering from the platform. Assuming a spherical shape of the platform, this paper investigates the differences between the ambient and measured characteristics of low-frequency signals and noise for scalar and vector sensors. In the near field of the platform, low-frequency perturbations in oscillatory velocity are generally much larger than pressure perturbations. These perturbations prevent mounted vector sensors from correctly measuring the direction of the free-field oscillatory velocity. The feasibility of a compensation of the distortions in scalar and vector sensor measurements is discussed.

  2. Simple, analytically solvable models of normal mode propagation in the coastal ocean are developed and applied to study the effect of the seafloor bathymetry on modal travel times. Within the adiabatic approximation, horizontal inhomogeneity of the waveguide is found to change the modal dispersion curves in a way that helps separation of the modal components of the acoustic field using the time-warping transform. It is shown that moderate seafloor slopes can lead to surprisingly large errors in retrieved geoacoustic parameters and cause a positive bias in bottom sound speed estimates if horizontal refraction is ignored.
