On the Relationship between Array Performance and the Existence of Deterministic Features in Transmission Loss Measurements.

Abstract

A multi-component model of the acoustic signal is used to discuss the relationship between a well-defined convergence-zone structure in transmission-loss measurements and array performance. This particular model predicts that the presence of a convergence-zone structure indicates the random fluctuations in the ocean are not strong enough to significantly degrade array performance.
