An Investigation into the Effect of the Correlation between Sea-Surface Roughness and Duct-Thickness on the Distribution of Acoustic Propagation Loss.

Abstract

Data were obtained and substituted into a model to test whether the distribution of the acoustic variable, propagation loss, is affected by the correlation between the two oceanographic parameters, sea surface roughness and mixed-layer thickness. It was found that the correlation coefficient is only 0.1 and that the distribution of propagation loss is not affected by this correlation.
