Normal Mode Modeling of Acoustic Propagation in a Multi-Layered Acousto-Elastic Ocean Environment

Friday, January 20, 1995 4:00 p.m. Dr. Evan K. Westwood Applied Research Labs University of Texas at Austin A normal mode model has been developed for underwater acoustic propa­gation in an ocean having a multi-layered elastic bottom. Following a brief tutorial on normal mode theory and the effects of shear waves, a description of the…
