Description for Sound Propagation Through the Stochastic Ocean
hardcover. In this book, key discoveries in the field of statistical ocean acoustics over the last 35 years are addressed with illustrations from ocean observations. Num Pages: 424 pages, 98 b/w illus. 26 colour illus. 17 tables. BIC Classification: RBKC; TTA. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 253 x 177 x 24. Weight in Grams: 1040.
The ocean is opaque to electromagnetic radiation and transparent to low frequency sound, so acoustical methodologies are an important tool for sensing the undersea world. Stochastic sound-speed fluctuations in the ocean, such as those caused by internal waves, result in a progressive randomisation of acoustic signals as they traverse the ocean environment. This signal randomisation imposes a limit to the effectiveness of ocean acoustic remote sensing, navigation and communication. Sound Propagation through the Stochastic Ocean provides a comprehensive treatment of developments in the field of statistical ocean acoustics over the last 35 years. This will be of fundamental interest to ... Read more
