In September 1996, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the
Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), prohibiting nuclear
explosions worldwide, in all environments. The treaty calls for a
global verification system, including a network of 321 monitoring
stations distributed around the globe, a data communications
network, an international data centre (IDC), and on-site
inspections, to verify compliance. A global hydroacoustic
monitoring system is being planned and implemented for verification
of the CTBT. Much of the research conducted over the past several
decades on acoustic surveillance of the oceans, formerly driven by
the need to detect and track submarines, is now being applied to
the development of effective monitoring methods to verify
compliance with the CTBT. The aim of this volume on Hydroacoustic
Monitoring of the CTBT is to summarize the research being conducted
in this field and to provide basic references for future research.
Much of the new research emphasizes major advances in understanding
the coupling of ocean acoustic waves with elastic waves in the
solid Earth. Topics covered include source excitation, detection
and classification of events generating hydroacoustic signals,
discrimination between underwater explosions and naturally
occurring events, as well as topics in coupling of acoustic to
seismic wavefields.
