Abstract

Geoacoustic properties of the upper tens of metres of ocean bottom sediments can significantly influence low-frequency acoustic propagation in the ocean. Therefore, knowledge of these properties is required for reliable propagation modelling and matched-field processing. To date, however, few measurements of geoacoustic properties have been reported for the high Arctic at sufficient resolution for underwater acoustic applications. This paper describes a high-resolution seismic experiment designed to measure ocean-bottom compressional and shear properties on the continental shelf of the Lincoln Sea, north of Ellesmere Island, Canada
