A Summary of the Results of a Study of Acoustic Bottom Interaction in a Range Dependent Environment.

Abstract

THIS REPORT SUMMARIZES THE RESULTS OF RESEARCH CARRIED OUT ON ACOUSTIC BOTTOM INTERACTION IN A RANGE VARIABLE ENVIRONMENT. The major topics treated are adiabatic normal mode modeling in a range variable medium, the role of attenuation in upslope and downslope propagation, and further theoretical studies into the role of mode/mode coupling in a range variable environment. In addition, some possible future directions of work concerning bottom interaction in a range variable environment are described.
