Some acoustic effects of internal macrostructure
Abstract
Some recent experimental developments relating to internal oceanographic- acoustic interactions are reviewed. Besides amplitude and phase fluctuations, a major concern is scattering into shadow regions. Associated oceanographic phenomena may include shear currents, turbulence and internal waves and upwelling. Experimental data show frequency independence of both scatter into shadow zones and leakage from sound channels. Propagation over sea mounts also shows the dominance of oceanographic refraction over diffraction. Preliminary results of an experiment involving a large ocean eddy are discussed.

Performance assessment of propagation models in AESS-6.0
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/08)A set of AESS propagation-loss predictions has been generated for typical operational scenarios in both deep and shallow water, for two sonar frequencies (500 and 3500 Hz) and for several source-receiver combinations. ... -
PC-based propagation and sonar prediction models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)Six acoustic models available for use on PC's are tested on a series of typical propagation situations from the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The model set includes both early US Navy models (ASTRAL, FACT, RAYMODE) ... -
