Product Description

This is the first book to offer a complete and rigorous study of sound propagation and scattering in moving media that have regular and random inhomogeneities in adiabatic sound speed, density and medium velocity. Although the emphasis is on mathematical development, the author has provided many numerical examples of practical interest taken from relevant contexts in atmospheric and oceanic acoustics. These include the effects of ocean currents and the extent to which the vector wind effects in the atmosphere may be treated in terms of effective sound speed gradients. The book is an invaluable resource for engineers and scientists who work on outdoor noise control, on acoustical detection and ranging in the atmosphere, and on acoustal remote sensing of the atmosphere and ocean, whether they are based in the industry, or government and military laboratories and institutions.

'...practical... rigorous and comprehensive.... It is a must in the library of each scientist and engineer who work in acoustical remote sensing' - Acta Acoustica

'No doubt, the book will be the most widely quoted reference on acoustics in moving inhomogeneous media for many years to come... should be recommended to researchers, engineers, lecturers and graduate students.' - Applied Acoustics

'Of great practical value to have a modern textbook on wave propagation...rigorous and comprehensive. It is a must in the library of each scientist and engineer who works in accoustical remote sensing of atmosphere and oceanographic parameters, and in wave propagation.' - Acoustica

'The author's thorough scholarship in writing this book is particularly admirable. The many careful comparisons to the results of previous authors, along with the extensive and diverse list of references, attest to his extraordinary 'Of great practical value to have a modern textbook on wave propagation...rigorous and comprehensive.
