4. In all local and regional studies, the results of the Deep Sea Drilling 

 Project should be considered or incorporated. 



• Assess performance of current prediction models. Use Indian Ocean data to 

 uncover deficiencies. 



• Impact the development of surveillance systems especially tailored for bottom 

 interaction areas by providing predicted performance as a function of configuration of the 

 system and mode of operation. 



• Evaluate the method for coupling bottom interaction into the P.E. (Parabolic 

 Equation) propagation program.
