COLOSSUS II SHALLOW-WATER ACOUSTIC PROPAGATION STUDIES

Abstract

Project Colossus was established in 1954 to investigate acoustics in shallow water (150 fathoms or less). A portion of that program was devoted to a study of underwater acoustic propagation. The frequency range of interest was 100 to 3000 cpa. Presented in this report are the results of the acoustic propagation loss studies, which include a summary of the analysts and a prediction method of estimating the statistical distribution of propagation loss.
