Bounded Elliptical Modes

Abstract

The Pekeris waveguide is used to derive an estimation technique for radial wavenumbers for the modal structure of an acoustic field in a given environment. While these estimates are inadequate for coherent processing (such as matched field processing), they are nonetheless useful since they are adequate for waveguide invariant calculations and for environmental province boundary calculations.
