Abstract
This article proposes a transdimensional (trans-D) geoacoustic inversion method adapted to range-dependent (RD) propagation tracks based on prior information from a high-resolution seismic survey. Most trans-D inversions to date model the seabed as a stack of range-independent homogeneous layers, with unknown geoacoustic parameters and an unknown number of layers. The proposed method models the seabed as an unknown number of homogeneous sediment layers with an RD thickness structure and applies an adiabatic normal-mode model to predict acoustic propagation. To do so, the method extrapolates trans-D seabed models proposed at the receiver position over the range of the propagation track using reflector-interface information from a seismic survey. The method is applied successfully to modal time–frequency dispersion data collected over an RD track during the 2017 Seabed Characterization Experiment (SBCEX).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
