Abstract
The traditional Pekeris treatment of the shallow water acoustic waveguide is marred by a seeming paradox: The so-called nonorthogonality of the propagation modes. This anomaly is due to the use of mistaken orthogonality criteria, and is easily exorcised by the use of normal coordinate theory (which leads to the correct orthonormality conditions for any linear conservative system).
