Sound Propagation Through the Stochastic Ocean

Informationen zum Autor John A. Colosi is a Professor of Oceanography at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), and was the recipient of the 2011 ASA Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography and the 2001 UK Institute of Acoustics A. B. Wood Medal. He has twice been a Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Scholar at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego. Klappentext In this book, key discoveries in the field of statistical ocean acoustics over the last 35 years are addressed with illustrations from ocean observations. Zusammenfassung In this book! key discoveries in the field of statistical ocean acoustics over the last 35 years such as internal waves! ray chaos! Feynman path integrals! and mode transport theory are addressed with illustrations from ocean observations. It will be of fundamental interest to oceanographers! marine biologists! geophysicists! engineers! applied mathematicians! and physicists. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part I.
