Abstract:

This report describes a computer program designed to calculate root-mean-square values for the acoustic phase, phase rate, and log-intensity fluctuation for a single ray path in an ocean in which the sound-speed fluctuations are the result of internal-wave activity. It is assumed that the internal waves can be described by the Garrett-Munk internal-wave model and that the theory of sound propagation developed by Munk and Zachariasen is valid.
