A contour integral formulation of the wavefield whose Nystr{\"o}m method yields the discrete counterpart is used, the Green's function of the layered environment being calculated by fast Fourier transforms for nonequispaced data. The ill-posed linear inversion is performed by filtered Singular Value Decomposition, an optimum Tikhonov's regularization parameter being determined by the L-curve. Circular and elliptic contours and several types of vibration are simulated at a low and a high frequency. Regularization is needed for small sampling steps or large data errors. The inversion method appears robust against measurement noise and uncertainty on each hydrophone location, with a generally good though often underestimated regularization parameter. In addition, strong transmission in the bottom and a short receiver array (down to one-fifth of the water column) are factors which do not degrade the results significantly with respect to those obtained with a hard bottom and an array spanning half or more of the column.", }
