| Abstract | Summary form only given. Because the AQS-20's Volume Search Sonar (VSS) contains multiple beams at a number of grazing angles, the NRL Sediment Mapping System can be used to invert the backscattered acoustic signal for seafloor sediment parameters. Backscattering strength is computed for each beam and averaged over several pings. A physical backscatter model that predicts backscattering strength as a function of grazing angle is used with a simulated annealing inversion to find the model parameters. This paper discusses the inversion results using VSS data from a test off the coast of Panama City, Florida. The analysis results include sediment-water density ratio, bottom relief spectral strength (roughness parameter), and a volume interaction parameter. From these model parameters, we estimate mean grain size and root-mean square interface roughness. The sediment-water density ratios from the inversion are compared with the solutions from another NRL bottom classification system using a normal incidence impedance-based inversion technique. |

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.
