Arctic Marine Acoustics.
Wave-theoretical computer codes have been developed to model pulse propagation in the central Arctic Ocean. Pulse shapes as a function of range and depth are computed from the Pulse Fast Field Program (PFFP) and the pulse parabolic equation (PPE) code. Group- and phase-velocity dispersion and eigenf...
