Effect of Small-Scale Ocean Fluctuations on Ocean Acoustic Transmission

Abstract

To connect the results of sound transmission and scattering experiments to known or hypothesized structures within the ocean, such as internal waves or microstructure, with account taken of anisotropy, inhomogeneity, and the sound channel. To use observations from experiments to determine internal-wave strength as a function of geographical position and time.
