This newest edition adds new material to all chapters, especially in mathematical
propagation models and special applications and inverse techniques. It has updated …

The Shallow Water Acoustic Modeling (SWAM'99) Workshop was organized to examine the
ability of various acoustic propagation models to accurately predict sound transmission in a …

The effect of internal wave solitons on the sound field generated by a point source in a
shallow sea is considered. In the framework of the theory of “horizontal rays and vertical …

In this paper, we study the variations of holograms of a moving source in an inhomogeneous
ocean waveguide. It is assumed that intense internal waves (internal solitons) are the …

A novel range-dependent propagation effect occurs when a source is placed on the seafloor
in shallow water with a downward refracting sound speed profile, and sound waves …

This chapter provides an overview of issues relevant to infrasound propagation and models
that have been employed to understand low-frequency atmospheric wave dynamics and …

Passive acoustic surveys were conducted to assess the vocal behavior of North Atlantic right
whales (Eubalaena glacialis) in the designated critical calving habitat along the shallow …

Robust informative acoustic predictions require precise knowledge of ocean physics,
bathymetry, seabed, and acoustic parameters. However, in realistic applications, this …

The use of three-dimensional (3-D) propagation models is becoming increasingly common
in current underwater acoustics applications. Such models typically treat the propagation as …

The shallow water acoustic communication channel is characterized by strong signal
degradation caused by multipath propagation and high spatial and temporal variability of the …
