Abstract
On the basis of the approach previously proposed by authors, a problem of the middle-frequency sound propagation in 2D-fluctuating shallow sea with losses is considered. Statistical characteristics of horizontal wave numbers corresponding to modal ones are studied. Fluctuations of horizontal wave numbers determine statistical features of wave field in random sea medium if wave field is sought by modal expansion. Within the framework of adiabatic approximation, we present calculations of sound field statistical moments, which demonstrate an effect of transmission loss attenuation along the horizontal distance. There are no references in acoustic literature for this fact. Some estimation has been carried out to explain new effect associated with two reasons that are the medium losses and sound speed fluctuations. They together influence wave numbers of modes in such a way attenuating losses.
