Application of the Parabolic Approximation to Predict Acoustical Propagation in the Ocean.
McDaniel, Suzanne T.
American Journal of Physics, v47 n1 p63-68 Jan 1979
A simplified derivation of the parabolic approximation to the acoustical wave equation is presented. Exact solutions to this approximate equation are compared with solutions to the wave equation to demonstrate the applicability of this method to the study of underwater sound propagation. (Author/BB)
