  2. Typical SVP

  3. c  z  c  z  c z  Gradients and Bending Iso-speed positive negative

  4. Surface Duct – Surface Shadow Zone SVP positive SVP negative

  5. Surface Shadow Zone Implications Originally called the “afternoon effect”

  6. Convergence Zone Depth Excess > 300 fathoms

  7. CZ Effect on Transmission Loss (TL) TL (dB)

  8. Deep Shadow Zones • BD = 17(LD)1/2 if LD < 60m. • BD = LD + 60m if LD > 60m.

  9. Deep sound channel range Sound speed depth

  10. Mixed Layer Example D = 40 m L = 100 m C1 = 1500 m/s g = 0.017 s-1 • Find sound speed at S and at bottom of layer • Angle of the rays at the source • Angle of the rays at the surface • Radius of curvature of the ray • Skip distance , X S

  11. Mixed Layer
