The artificial neural network is considered to be a universal function approximater. As such, the artificial neural network can be used to solve the inverse contaminant transport equation for parameter estimation. In this study the plausibility of the artificial neural network i…

The aim of this study was to investigate the composition of an acoustic scattering layer in the North Sea that is particularly strong at 38 kHz. A full definition of the biological composition of the layer, along with its acoustic properties, would allow for it to be confidently…

The past decades have witnessed a remarkable emergence of new spaceborne and ground-based sources of multiscale remotely sensed geophysical data. Apart from applications related to the study of short-term climatic shifts, availability of these sources of information has improved…
