Sound Transmission Through a Fluctuating Ocean

---

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-range sound transmission. Contemporary theory of wave propagation through irregular media, developed for optical and radio-wave transmission, is . found to be inapplicable in many respects due to the complications of ocean structure, particularly the combination of anisotropy and the ocean ‘sound channel’. The authors extend wave propagation theory to account for the ocean complications and, in addition, introduce a new path-integral approach to the solution of the strong-scattering regime that solves many long-standing problems. The book is written at the post-graduate level, but has been carefully organized to give experimenters a grasp of important results without undue mathematics. It begins with a broad description of the ocean environment, from microstructure to planetary waves, that is unique in the literature devoted to acoustics. A pedagogical introduction to sound transmission in the ocean leads into a section that provides an intuitive physical picture of all the wave-scattering regimes, and gives all the main results of the comprehensive theory. The following section giving theoretical justifications for many.
