Abstract
The interaction of plane shock waves with the air–ocean surface is investigated in detail. Interaction patterns for incident waves originating in both air and water are considered and the range of angles of incidence extends from normal to critical, and beyond. For shocks originating above the ocean surface, the interaction is irregular when the critical angle of incidence is exceeded and the transmitted shock is then diffracted about the disturbed ocean surface. For shocks arriving from an underwater source, the interaction is always regular and the reflected wave is always an expansion wave.
