"Ocean Ambient Noise: Measurement and Theory" by William M. Carey, Richard B. Evans (Repost)

This volume develops the theory of ocean ambient noise mechanisms and measurements, and also describes general noise characteristics and computational methods. The book will be of the greatest interest to graduate students and active researchers working in fields related to ambient noise in the ocean.

The book concisely summarizes the vast ambient noise literature using theory combined with key representative results. This book provides a series of appendices giving in-depth mathematical treatments.
