Overview: In recent years, research on acoustic remote sensing of theocean has evolved considerably, especially in studying complexphysical and biological processes in shallow water environments. Toreview the state of the art, an international workshop was held atCarvoeiro, Portugal, in March 1999, bringing together leadinginternational researchers in the field. In contrast to much of therecent theoretical work, emphasis was placed on the .experimental.validation of the techniques. This volume, based on presentations atthis workshop, summarizes a range of diverse and innovativeapplications. .T
