DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The purpose of this textbook is to provide instruction for undergraduate and graduate students in the theory and practice of underwater acoustic sonar systems. The first third of the book introduces the basics of sonar theory. The middle section of the book describes the applied technology of sonars. The final third of the book extends the discussions of earlier chapters, going into details of theory of non-linear acoustics, reflection and scattering, acoustic and elastic waves in solid media, marine sediments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →PHYSICS OF SOUND IN THE SEA is the distillate of the brightest, most creative minds in the underwater acoustics community during World War II. The primary wartime effort to understand the underwater acoustic environment for the purpose of submarine and antisubmarine warfare was directed by the Subsurface Warfare Division of the National Defense Research Committee. This division organized and directed programs and studies to combine theory with experiment in order to characterize underwater sound transmission for immediate wartime application. Participating in these studies were staff members from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, Columbia, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the U.S. Navy - namely, the Bureau of Ships (now Naval Sea Systems Command), the Radio and Sound Laboratory (now Naval Underwater Systems Center at San Diego), and the Naval Research Laboratory. Dr. Lyman Spitzer, Jr., Director of the Sonar Analysis Group within the Subsurface Warfare Division was responsible for the preparation of Physics of Sound in the Sea. His key editors, named in the Foreword of the book, and many others, unmanned, created an authoritative, understandable underwater sound reference book every bit as useful today as when first written.

Therefore man is turning his sight to the vast spaciousness of the ocean whose resources - mineral, biological, energetic, and others - are just beginning to be used. The ocean is being intensively studied. Our notions about the dynam ics of ocean waters and their role in forming the Earth's climate as well as about the structure of the ocean bottom have substantially changed during the last two decades. An outstanding part in this accelerated exploration of the ocean is played by ocean acoustics. Only sound waves can propagate in water over large distances. Practically all kinds of telemetry, communication, location, and re mote sensing of water masses and the ocean bottom use sound waves. Propa gating over thousands of kilometers in the ocean, they bring information on earthquakes, eruptions of volcanoes, and distant storms. Projects using acoustical tomography systems for exploration of the ocean are presently be ing developed. Each of these systems will allow us to determine the three-di mensional structure of water masses in regions as large as millions of square kilometers.
