Ocean Acoustics.

Abstract

The main element of this final report is a discussion of the development of the trace method for determining the acoustic properties of the ocean bottom sediments and basement. In addition a method is reported for the uniform determination of the continuous modal contribution in a normal mode expansion for the second term in the geometrical acoustic expansion near a smooth caustic. Originator-supplied keywords include: Inverse scattering, Ocean sediments and basement trace method, Continuous spectrum, and Ray acoustics.
