ATMOSPHERIC SOUND PROPAGATION NEAR THE EARTH'S SURFACE

Abstract

A study of sound propagation near the earth's surface under relatively calm meteorological conditions showed considerable variation in the pressure of detected waves. This variation was shown to be due to atmospheric effects between the source and detector. The accuracy of determining the elevation angle of the sound source was found to be highly dependent upon the surface temperature.
