Coastal acoustic tomography environments
Shallow depths (< 300 m)
Range-dependence (bathymetry, temperature and salinity fields)
Short temporal/spatial scales
Tidal currents
Strong acoustic-bottom interaction
Lack of resolvable arrivals
Currents → effective sound speed
Range-dependent acoustic propagation models
→ continuous monitoring based on ocean observatories

State-space model
The inverse problem is formulated in a Gauss-Markov model
x(τm) = A[x(τm−1)] + w(τm−1)y(τm) = C[x(τm)] + v(τm)
x : sound-speed parameters
y : acoustic measurements
A[x] : transition model
C[x] : measurement model
w ∼ N (0, Rww ), v ∼ N (0, Rvv )
→ Transition model : random walk of the sound-speed parameters A = 1
→ Nonlinear measurement model : numerical acoustic propagation model

Kalman filter algorithm
GIVEN a set of noisy complex acoustic field measurements on a vertical array,FIND the best (minimum error variance) estimate of the sound-speed field ofthe environment.
Prediction
(1) Predict the states
x̂tk|tk−1 = A(x̂tk−1|tk−1)
(2) Predict the error covariance

Conclusion
Accurate acoustic propagation modeling is critical for performing accurateinversions
Sequential filtering approach provides an excellent framework for coastalcontinuous monitoring and ocean observatories
Range-resolving and feature-oriented parameterization schemes show goodperformances on realistic oceanic simulations
The simultaneous processing of lower and higher frequencies enables toincrease the robustness and sensitivity of the inversion method
