The general objectives of this investigation were to determine and study those characteristics of the sea floor that affect sound propagation and the prediction

In situ measurements were made of the velocity and attenuation of compressional waves and of velocities of Stoneley waves (from which shear-wave velocities were

Acoustic relaxation theory for visco-elastic media provides for sound propagation in unconsolidated marine sediments. For the frequency range of 14 to 200 kHz,

The phenomenon of sound transmissions through marine sediments is of extreme interest to both the United States civilian and Navy research communities. Both com
