Surface-Duct Sonar Measurements (SUDS I - 1972).

Abstract

Specifically, the SUDS I experiments were designed to measure near-surface continuous wave (CW) pulse propagation losses and propagation losses for explosive sources out to ranges of 45 kyd and to obtain detailed supporting environmental measurements in three deep-water areas off the west coast of southern California. This report contains a brief historical background of near-surface propagation loss measurements, a summary of the experimental plan designed to accomplish the SUDS I objectives, and an analysis and discussion of the environmental and propagation loss measurements. Included, for selected propagation loss runs, are comparisons of the measured propagation losses with theoretical propagation losses computed using inputs derived from the environmental measurements.
