Abstract

This work presents an effort to effectively represent turbulence in a numerical model of atmospheric sound propagation in a near-shore environment. Model results are compared with a set of atmospheric transmission loss measurements made in a pitch-catch configuration with a stationary source 500 m from shore. High resolution temperature profiling and scanning Doppler LIDAR wind profiling measurements in the source-to-receiver direction are concurrent with the acoustic transmission loss measurements at the shoreline. These meteorological measurements inform the input parameters used in the parabolic equation. The numerical predictions are compared to the measured transmission loss values to evaluate model performance with a variety of different approaches to implement turbulence parameters.
