Abstract:When an acoustic pulse propagates in a randomly fluctuating ocean with a deterministic sound-speed profile, it is distorted since every frequency component experiences different extents of scattering from the random inhomogeneity and echo numbers. Here, the split-step method is used to simulate an acoustic pulse with a 3-kHz carrier propagating through a turbulent ocean with range-independent/-dependent sound-speed profiles. It is found that ͑1͒ the ocean is a frequency-selective fading channel; ͑2͒ the receiv… Show more
