Sound Transmission Through a Fluctuating Ocean

Klappentext This book attempts to connect the known structure of the ocean volume with experimental results in long-range sound transmission. Zusammenfassung This 1979 book attempts to connect the known structure of the ocean volume with experimental results in long-range sound transmission through the theory of wave propagation and the path-integral approach. The book is written at the post-graduate level! but has been carefully organised to give experimenters a grasp of important results without undue mathematics.
