The ocean is transparent to sound where slight irregularities
within the ocean cause sound fluctuations, and thus set limits on
the many uses of sound in the ocean, similar to the limits imposed
by the atmosphere on ground-based telescopes. This 1979 book
attempts to connect the known structure of the ocean volume with
experimental results in long-range sound transmission. Theories of
wave propagation through irregular media, developed for optical and
radio wave transmission are found to be inapplicable in many
respects due to the complications of ocean structure, particularly
the combination of anisotropy and 'sound channel'. The authors
extend wave propagation theory to account for the ocean
complications and introduces the path-integral approach to the
solution of the strong-scattering regime that solves many
long-standing problems. The book is written at the post-graduate
level, but has been carefully organised to give experimenters a
grasp of important results without undue mathematics.
