An investigation of plane wave propagation through a layer with high sound speed gradient

In modelling the reflection of sound from an ocean surface, it is necessary to include the refractive effects of near-surface bubbles generated by wind action for certain frequencies. The vertical sound speed gradient in the near-surface region is, however, so extreme that ray acoustics cannot be ap...
