Long-Range Acoustic Propagation in the Shallow Bering Sea.
Propagation measurements were obtained with explosives and CW signals of 58,350,700, and 1300 Hz in 25-fathom waters of the Bering Sea. Sound was received by an anchored string of 14 hydrophones spaced vertically at 10-ft intervals. Measurements to ranges of 80 kyd were confined to areas that had pr...
