摘要:
Volume attenuation coefficients for one‐third octave frequency bands up to 400 Hz have been determined as part of an underwater sound propagation study conducted in the Labrador Basin in cooperation with the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory. Charge detonation depths, receiver depth and the sound channel axis depth were all roughly 200 m along the 1300‐km track. A late summer maximum in the near‐surface sound velocity and a water depth greater than 3000 m also helped to ensure nearly ideal measurement conditions. The deduced volume attenuation coefficients were greater than the Thorp predictions [W.H. Thorp, J. Acoust. Soc. Am.42, 270 (1967)], with attenuation increasing toward both higher and lower frequencies from a minimum (0.002 dB/km) near 60 Hz. Comparisons with results from other areas will be made. Results on the low frequency dependence of propagation loss will also be discussed.
