The PARKA I Experiment

Abstract

The PARKA I Experiment was designed for the purpose of providing simultaneous, detailed acoustic and oceanographic data for testing acoustic propagation models to ranges out to 2000 miles, and specifically, to test the interim model for predicting long range sound propagation which has been programmed for the CDC 6500 computer at Fleet Numerical Weather Central (FNWC), Monterey, California. This report is bound in two volumes. Volume I presents a description of the experiment, the results of the oceanographic and acoustic measurements, the predicted (computed) transmission loss characteristics based on a particular mathematical model, and a comparison of calculated and measured results. Volume II comprises a set of Appendices.
