Abstract
Fluctuations of acoustic transmission were measured for resolved refracted-refracted ray paths at three long ranges in the deep ocean (258, 410, 560 km). A moored broadband source with center frequency of 460 Hz transmitted continuously for a period of several days from each range. Received signals were processed to give time histories of complex pulse response. Fluctuation statistics are computed for the carrier line, the combined multipath signal, and time gated arrivals associated with predicted paths. Refracted arrivals are identified by ray models, and statistics are computed for resolved paths, unresolved paths, unresolved doublets of upgoing and downgoing rays, and the combined multipath. A second mooring was used to measure temperature fluctuations associated with internal waves and for estimating the magnitude and vertical coherence of soundspeed fluctuations during the acoustic experiments. The authors report statistics of fluctuations and compare measurement with predictions.
