Abstrakt: Measurements along two ship tracks were obtained in an experiment to investigate the properties of acoustic propagation over the continental slope in the South China Sea. The measured data show a notable difference in transmission loss about 35 dB as sound crosses different geodesic paths. Numerical simulations indicate that the range and azimuth-dependent geological properties control the level of the transmission loss and lead to this large transmission loss fluctuation. In addition, the model also suggests some small-scale features of horizontal refraction effect caused by irregular topography, but they are not observed in the measured data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
