Abstract
Sound waves can propagate over a long distance in the sea. The east coast of China is bounded by very wide continental shelf with shallow water. Great emphasis was paid on the research of sound propagation in shallow water by Chinese acousticians, problems such as the optimum frequency in propagation, sea-bed remote sensing, average sound field, long range reverberation, mode filtering, influence of internal waves on sound transmission, abnormal attenuation, propagation in range dependent environment, transformation between rays and modes, etc. are of great interest in shallow water acoustics.
