| Abstract | A MATLAB-based MAP graphical user interface (GUI) is described for accessing bathymetry and sound speed databases and using them to predict ocean acoustic transmission and to display the results. MATLAB scripts have been developed to estimate a field of view from a single transducer and to compute transmission losses between a source and receiver using one of several standard propagation codes. The GUI called MAP is described and several test cases are presented. The MAP GUI supports three simple functions that display database information; an image of bathymetry for a user-specified area may be plotted, a sound speed profile (SSP) at a user-selected location may be plotted, and bathymetry and SSP along a geodesic between a transmitter and receiver may be plotted. The MAP GUI supports two types of algorithms modeling acoustic transmission loss. The first is computation of the acoustic field between two points. External propagation codes written by other agencies are used to do the basic simulation. MATLAB accesses database information, writes input files for the simulations, runs them, and plots results. Currently five external simulations are supported; (1) EIGENRAY, (2) RAY, (3) CASS, (4) UMPE, and (5) RAM. The first three simulations are ray-based models, and the last two are parabolic expansion models. The second type of algorithm is mapping a "field of view" for a transducer (a "shadow" plot). Horizontal rays are propagated from the instruments and the range at which acoustic propagation fails is displayed. Two algorithms are supported. One accesses a database of sound channel depths along with bathymetry information and uses heuristics to estimate propagation along the horizontal rays. The other accesses the Levitis SSP database and uses Weston's Ray Invariant to identify ray elevations "interrupted" by bathymetry or (if specified by the user) by the surface. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
