SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for understanding Ocean Bathymetry, specifically comparing acoustic methods and Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB). Participants recommend various online papers and textbooks, including "Introduction to Underwater Acoustics" by Xavier Lurton and a textbook available on Amazon. Users emphasize the importance of searching academic databases and publisher websites for comprehensive materials related to ocean acoustics and bathymetry.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ocean Bathymetry concepts
  • Familiarity with acoustic measurement techniques
  • Knowledge of Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB)
  • Experience with academic research methods and citation searching
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Airborne Lidar Bathymetry" techniques and applications
  • Explore "Underwater Acoustics" textbooks for in-depth knowledge
  • Investigate academic papers on "Multibeam Bathymetry" and its uses
  • Utilize library databases to find specialized literature on ocean acoustics
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, oceanographers, and students interested in marine technology, particularly those focusing on bathymetric methods and underwater acoustics.

Hi everyone,

i am planing to write an article as a review of the Ocean Bathymetry (acoustics Vs ALB) system.

Is there anyone who can help me with some reading materials or books that i can take help from?

I will waiting to hear from you.

thanks

(Please give me some book name that will help me...thanks in advance.)

Has one tried find citations with a search engine like Google?

One do one's own work and search with "Ocean Bathymetry (acoustics Vs ALB)"

and find papers like -
http://champs.cecs.ucf.edu/Library/Conference_Papers/pdfs/Airborne%20Lidar%20Bathymetry%20The%20SHOALS%20System.pdf

or search on 'acoustic bathymetry', 'ALB, bathymetry', or 'Airborne Lidar Bathymetry'

or see "Multibeam Bathymetry and Acoustic Backscatter Imagery of the Southern Monterey Bay Shelf" - http://montereybay.noaa.gov/research/techreports/treittreim1997b.html

hi there,

thanks for your reply. I have read all of these links that you have given and plus a lot more. But i am struggling to find any books on ocean bathymetry or acoustics. I have found acoustics but not related to ocean acoustics/bathymetry.

If you have anything like that, then please help me.

i am searching not only in google but in so many library sites but yet not finding anything suitable for the acoustics batheymetry, however, i have found quite a lot of information about the ALB.

thanks
 
There is also https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Underwater-Acoustics-Xavier-Lurton/&tag=pfamazon01-20, which is a more expensive option that the one suggested by Bobbywhy.

One can usually browse the publishers' sites for more information, e.g., Front Matter, including TOC, and maybe a preface.

One can also search for 'textbook, underwater acoustics' or ' introduction to underwater acoustics' and similarly for ALB.
