Description
With the exploration of the oceans, the applications of ocean acoustics has become increasingly numerous and important. This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the theory of sound propagation in the ocean, with new material having been added throughout the second edition. It includes both ray and wave treatments and considerable attention is paid to stochastic problems such as the scattering of sound at rough surfaces and random inhomogeneties. An introductory chapter that discusses the basic experimental data complements the following theoretical chapters.
Table of Contents
