Underwater scientists use sound as the premier tool to determine the detailed characteristics of physical and biological bodies and processes at sea. This is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on ocean acoustics and acoustical oceanography. Chapters 1-9 provide the basic tools of ocean acoustics. The following fifteen chapters are written by many of the world's most successful ocean resear…
The time-varying aspect of the ocean makes descriptive oceanography a four-dimensional problem, with spatial scales from 10'7 to 10'-3 m and energy cascading down over ten orders of magnitude. In-situ sensing alone is ultimately unable to provide a sufficient description. The ocean is fundamentally opaque to electromagnetic radiation, but this limitation on information transfer is largely commp…
The purpose of the third edition, like that of the second, is to present new ideas, facts and concepts that have emerged in recent years. At the same time some older and userful material has been added as deemed appropriate by the use of the book in course teaching. The question of metric units has been given much consideration. Although scientists and engineers today use metric units universal…
