Underwater Acoustic Modeling and Simulation examines the translation of our physical understanding of sound in the sea into mathematical models that can simulate acoustic propagation, noise and reverberation in the ocean. These models are used in a variety of research and operational applications to predict and diagnose the performance of complex sonar systems operating in the undersea environment.

Previous editions of the book have provided invaluable guidance to sonar technologists, acoustical oceanographers and applied mathematicians in the selection and application of underwater acoustic models. Now that simulation is fast becoming an accurate, efficient and economical alternative to field-testing and at-sea training, this new edition will also provide useful guidance to systems engineers and operations analysts interested in simulating sonar performance.

Guidelines for selecting and using available propagation, noise and reverberation models are highlighted. Specific examples of each type of model are discussed to illustrate model formulations, assumptions and algorithm efficiency. Instructive case studies demonstrate applications in sonar simulation.

Paul C. Etter has worked in the fields of ocean-atmosphere physics and environmental acoustics for the past thirty years, supporting federal and state agencies, academia and private industry. He received his BS degree in Physics and his MS degree in Oceanography at Texas A&M University. Mr. Etter served on active duty in the US Navy as an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Officer aboard frigates, where he was responsible for the tactical operation of the ships' sonar systems. He is the author or co-author of more than 170 technical reports and professional papers addressing environmental measurement technology, underwater acoustics and physical oceanography. Mr. Etter has written two editions of the book entitled Underwater Acoustic Modeling and has contributed chapters to three other books dealing with physics of the oceans.
