Measurements of Normal-Mode Amplitude Functions in a Nearly-Stratified Medium

Abstract

In normal-mode treatments of acoustic propagation in nearly-stratified media, calculations are frequently based on the perfectly-stratified medium model, in which symmetry permits separation of the wave equation In these treatments the assumption is made that the normal-modes adapt to local conditions and that the modes are not coupled by the changing environment.
