Abstract
Historically, acoustic propagation modeling in the ocean has been largely restricted to highly stylized environments: typically, the problem is reduced from three dimensions to two by imposing cylindrical symmetry about the vertical axis through the source; the propagation medium is usually assumed to be stratified, and fully described by a frequency independent (more often than not range independent) sound speed profile. Even simplified in this manner, it is not always easy to see at a glance what transmission behavior to expect in a given environment.
