Acoustic Sounding System for Long Range Propagation in Middle East Surroundings.

Abstract

The current report covers the activities carried out during the third interim period. Two main tasks were performed namely a preliminary open air acoustic transmission experiment and a computer simulation of atmospheric acoustic propagation based on an FPP program. The measurements were performed using the complete DAS system consisting of a 6 horn APS and the ADRA receiver unit located at a distance of 800m from it. The source was operated at discrete frequencies of 150,300,450,600,1000 and 1200Hz. The angles of arrival of the acoustic energy over two second intervals were determined. It was found that the lower frequencies (300,450,600Hz) tended to arrive in directions closer to the ground whereas the energy from higher frequencies (1000,1200 Hz) tended to come from directions higher up in the atmosphere. Experimental results and model calculations for a typical atmospheric sound speed profile are included. (AN)
