Basic Acoustic Oceanography.
Abstract
A brief introduction is given of oceanography for acousticians. The main topics and related acoustical examples are: Submarine geology (bottom acoustic loss); marine biology (the deep sound scattering layer); chemical and physical properties of seawater (sound speed and sound absorption); the steady state of the ocean (sound speed vs depth structure and modes of sound propagation in the ocean); and waves in the ocean (sea surface loss and sea surface noise, and acoustic propagation and internal waves).
