Abstract
In this paper the Quasi-Particle (QP) technique has been applied for the first time to the study of beam propagation in slowly varying sound-speed profiles with an upper boundary, typical of some underwater acoustic environments. With the aim of testing the possibilities and the limitations of this new technique, particular attention has been devoted to special effects. The results of this analysis have been used to give some criteria for a proper modeling of the ocean environment from the Quasi-Particle point of view.
