Multibeam observations of mine scour and burial near clearwater, florida, including a test of the vims 2d burial model [electronic resource] / Wolfson, Monica L. [Tampa, Fla.] : University of South Florida, 2005. eng ABSTRACT: The ability to detect buried mines on the seafloor remains one of the most important tasks in mine countermeasures. As such, there is a vested interest in the development of predictive models of mine burial. This research was conducted in support of the Office of Naval Research Program in Mine Burial Prediction. Repeat high-resolution multibeam bathymetry data were collected over the Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) mine burial experiment site during January through March of 2003, in order to observe in situ scour and burial of instrumented inert mines and mine-like cylinders. These data were also used to test the validity of the VIMS 2D mine burial model. Thesis (M.S.)--University of South Florida, 2005. Includes bibliographical references.
