There are now many software to compute the acoustic outdoor propagation. No manufacturer of calculation indicates the uncertainty, related to the result obtained from the simulations of calculation.
How to keep your account in models of acoustic propagation?
As far as I know, does not exhist any sofware or Add-on to give the uncertainty or some similar result. My PhD proposal involved habitat mapping with QTC (single beam acoustic system) in the entire (!) Portuguese continental shelf and when I used it, all acoustic dataset did make no sense! All data wasn't used...we found a huge heterogeneity of sediment types and also biological communities and just 2 or 3 major acoustic assemblages! We realized that some variable(s) greatly interfered the acquisition, but any post-process could correct the problem... For sure a software like you are searching for could helped me...
I'd like to know how others take into account the uncertainty related to the software in the estimation of the results obtained through simulations. I have the impression that many do not take into account in the estimation of the results. I usually refer to the related italian technical standard.
