The ocean is transparent to sound and nearly opaque to light. Slight irregularities within the ocean cause sound fluctuations, and thus set limits on the many uses of sound in the ocean, similar to the limits imposed by the atmosphere on ground-based telescopes. This book provides the hrst systematic attempt to connect the known structure of the ocean volume with experimental results in long-ra…
