Abstract
Results of numerical simulation of the total and coherent sound fields and the coherence parameter for a multimode acoustic signal excited by a monochromatic sound source and propagating in an irregular arctic waveguide are presented. Expressions used as the basis for the algorithm of the sound field calculation by the method of coupled normal modes are given. Both regular and stochastic sound scattering by horizontal inhomogeneities of the bottom, water medium, and ice cover are taken into account. It is found that, in the course of sound propagation in an arctic waveguide, an anomalous variation of the energy coherence parameter of the sound field as a function of distance is observed. This variation manifests itself in the form of local peaks of the field coherence parameter. This fact should be taken into account in both the measurements of the ice cover characteristics by acoustic methods and the evaluation of the efficiency of the operation of receiving arrays.
