  10. This graph traces sound energy propagation paths from the surface to 3000 meters depth over a range of 10 to 45 nautical miles from an underwater explosion detonated at the depth of the sofar channel axis. Cyclic behavior in energy transmission brought about by the physical process of refraction will produce concentrations of paths and enhanced sound levels at approximately every range step of 35 km.

  11. S O U N D E N E R G Y s o u n d e ne r g y * * TIME time This graph presents sound energy arriving at a hydrophone positioned on the axis of a local sofar channel that is 1350 nm from an explosion detonated on a sofar channel axis. The depths of the axes are not necessarily the same. The sound energy arriving at the time associated with the asterisk above traveled the shortest distance at the slowest sound speed, along the axis. Sound arrivals to the left, at earlier times, traveled longer cyclic paths at higher sound speeds and have lower peak energy levels due to losses that are a function of, and occur, along transmission paths.
