In the 1990s, the study of the chaotic behavior of ray trajectories in inhomogeneous
waveguides emerged as a new field in ocean acoustics. It turned out that at ranges on the …

The main theme of this article is the central role that dynamics plays in estimating the state of
the atmosphere and of the ocean from incomplete and noisy data. The evolution of …

The travel times of acoustic pulses transmitted in opposite directions over a 300‐km distance
in mid‐ocean have been used to measure the fields of sound speed and absolute water …

Acoustic tomography is proposed as a method for monitoring near-surface atmospheric
temperature and wind velocity fields. Basic issues relating to the feasibility and …
