The discussion revolves around finding resources and reading materials for understanding ocean bathymetry, specifically comparing acoustic methods and Airborne Lidar Bathymetry (ALB). The focus is on identifying suitable books and academic papers to support an article review on the topic.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks recommendations for books on ocean bathymetry and acoustics, expressing difficulty in finding suitable materials.
  • Another participant suggests using search engines like Google to find academic papers and provides specific links to resources related to ALB and acoustic bathymetry.
  • A participant acknowledges the provided links but indicates a continued struggle to find books specifically related to ocean acoustics and bathymetry.
  • One participant recommends a specific textbook as a potential resource.
  • Another participant mentions an additional textbook option, noting it is more expensive and suggests browsing publishers' sites for further details.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for resources related to ocean bathymetry and acoustics, but there is no consensus on the availability of suitable books, as some express difficulty in finding them.

Contextual Notes

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.
