Description
Summary:In this paper an efficient method for computing the travel time of an acoustic wave as a function of range using the parabolic equation model. The frequency derivative of the acoustic phase is the differential travel time associated with a propagation in range. By taking this difference across closely spaced frequencies (0.02 f0) and integrating in range, this method computes the travel time of the dominant acoustic arrival. The method compares well with other travel time methods for four different cases, including deep water (shallow source, axial source), upslope and shallow water, and a global 3D propagation environment.
