How wrong can you be? Can a simple spreading formula be used to predict worst-case underwater sound levels?

Several simple spreading laws have been proposed to allow estimates of underwater sound levels to be made without the complication of numerical modelling. Underwater acoustic propagation depends in an involved way on a number of geometric and environmental parameters, including source, receiver and...
