An analysis on sonar reverberation models

A comprehensive analysis of sonar reverberation modeling with respect to Bellhop Compatibility for Operational Applications is done in this work. This work focuses on analyzing reverberation models which are designed to be operational oriented. Such models are compatible with the Bellhop propagation model which can be used within the Environment Modeling Manager-EMM. In order to compliment Bellhop model, the Ellis normal mode model and the Harrison closed form expressions could be added to the EMM.
