Cramer-Rao bounds for matched field tomography and ocean acoustic tomography

Matched field and ocean acoustic tomography concern the estimation of parameters for models of ocean environments using acoustics. Both require full field representations for the observed signals since waveguide effects are important. The authors present Cramer-Rao lower bounds for the attainable accuracy of both methods. These bounds are expressed in terms of the Green's function for the propagation between source and receivers.
