Technical Notes on Sound Propagation in the Sea. Volume 1,

Abstract

;Contents: Sound propagation formulation for 3-D ray-trace computations spherical earth; Curvature corrections for the earth (sea level) shaped as an ellipsoid of revolution; The wave-front-divergence factor in ray-intensity integration; Analytic verification of wavefront spreading formulations, non-reciprocity in ray reversal, and FNWF computer program; The finite change in wavefront divergence in passing through discontinuties in sound-speed gradient as effected at reflections.
