Interpreting wave phenomena in terms of an underlying ray dynamics adds a new dimension to the analysis of linear wave equations. Forming explicit connections between …
The ocean is opaque to electromagnetic radiation and transparent to low frequency sound, so acoustical methodologies are an important tool for sensing the undersea world …
A ray-based wave-field description is employed in the interpretation of broadband basin- scale acoustic propagation measurements obtained during the Acoustic Thermometry of …
MA Wolfson, S Tomsovic - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of …, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
Several acoustic experiments show a surprising degree of stability in wave fronts propagating over multi-megameter ranges through the ocean's sound channel despite the …
IP Smirnov, AL Virovlyansky, GM Zaslavsky - Physical Review E, 2001 - APS
Chaotic ray dynamics in deep sea propagation models is considered using the approaches developed in the theory of dynamical chaos. It has been demonstrated that the mechanism …

This work presents an analysis of the effects of ocean internal waves on long-range acoustic pulse propagation from the geometrical-optics point of view. The chaotic behavior of rays …
Recent results relating to ray dynamics in ocean acoustics are reviewed. Attention is focused on long-range propagation in deep ocean environments. For this class of problems, the ray …
