UMPE: The University of Miami Parabolic Equation Model. Version 1.0.

Abstract

Solving the acoustic wave equation using the parabolic approximation is a popular approach of many available underwater acoustic models. Here we develop and present a version of the PE model developed at the University of Miami from 1989 to the present under the guidance of Professor Fred Tappert. Acoustic wave equation, Parabolic approximation, Volume attenuation, Broadband travel time analysis.
