Ray Calculations of Ocean Sound Channels Using a Pocket Programmable Calculator and Extended Forms of the Hirsch-Carter Mathematical Model with Tables of the Incomplete Beta Function.

Abstract

Formulas for curve fitting and ray computation using compound models made up of several different layers are presented. Examples of computation by pocket programmable calculator on two Sargasso Sea profiles, one from the center of a cold ring eddy are given. Necessary tables of the incomplete beta-function and calculator programs are included in a supplement.
