Abstract :
This research is aimed at providing more reliable predictions of the characteristics of reverberation as a function of frequency and range, as well as propagation path and wind wave characteristics. A theoretical model is derived and is compared to experimental results which consist of simultaneous acoustic and wind wave characteristics measurements.
