Turn-Around Loss for Oceanic Sound on a Bottom Slope.

Abstract

For oceanic sound reflected from a region of bottom slope the turn-around loss equals the sum of the bottom losses, and can be quite low if the total deflection in horizontal angle is low. Simple formulae are derived, and the effects of the slope being finite are discussed.
