Editorial Reviews
Review
'Herman Medwin died in January 2006 at the age of 85. This book acts magnificently as a memorial to him ... The ascribed multiple authorship of this volume ... stands as a telling testament to this influence ... it is clearly written, and each chapter is provided with a range of problems which may be used to assess how well the presentted material has been assimilated ... a useful introduction to non-linear effects such as parametric generation, acoustic streaming and the characteristics of explosive sources ... This is a magnificent book, a worthy occupant of shelf space in any oceanographic library.' The Magazine of the Challenger Society for Marine Science
Product Description
The first portion of this comprehensive textbook on ocean acoustics and acoustical oceanography introduces the basic tools used to determine the detailed characteristics of physical and biological bodies and processes at sea. Written by many internationally recognized ocean researchers, the following fifteen chapters describe modern research developments. This invaluable textbook for students in oceanography, engineering, and physics will also serve as a reference for researchers and professionals.
