Abstract

The second and fourth moment mode-amplitude statistics for ocean sound propagation through random sound-speed perturbations are investigated using exact transport theory for the cross-frequency cross-mode coherence matrix. These exact equations are derived using the method of successive approximations, originally developed by Klyatskin and Tartarskii. These equations allow the determination of the validity of the usual transport equation (involving the Markov approximation), which is the first order approximation (in a infinite sequence of approximations to the exact equations). The range scales for the approach to the asymptotic behavior of the intensity moments, and the decay of the cross-modal coherence is easily determined at all frequencies.
