Predictability of Deterministic Underwater Sound Fields

Acoustic ray chaos in the ocean environment was studied analytically and numerically. Both idealized and realistic ocean models were studied. The influence of both boundary and volume structure was considered. The purpose of these studies was to quantify-in terms of a predictability horizon-our unde...

Description
Summary:Acoustic ray chaos in the ocean environment was studied analytically and numerically. Both idealized and realistic ocean models were studied. The influence of both boundary and volume structure was considered. The purpose of these studies was to quantify-in terms of a predictability horizon-our understanding of ray chaos in the ocean environment.
