SHADZO: A Computer Program for Estimating the Position and Shape of the Surface Shadow Zone in Sonar Operations

Abstract

SHADZO is a composite program which calculates the position and shape of the first surface shadow zone as a function of the source depth for a given sound speed profile. The program is small enough to be run on a shipboard mini- computer in a few minutes.
