THE HUDSON LABORATORIES RAY TRACING PROGRAM

Abstract

A series of computer programs has been developed for the calculation of the acoustical field in long-range, low-frequency underwater sound propagation in the deep ocean. The programs involve the extraction of data inputs from available data banks, the calculation of ray trajectories, and intensity calculations that are based on the mapping of ray densities into the far acoustical field. The report outlines the methods used in the calculations and provides incidental commentary on the results of the program and its application to underwater sound propagation.
