Abstract
This paper gives a general description of the underwater acoustic propagation in the Bay of Biscay. The propagation is characterized by a deep double SOFAR channel due to Mediterranean Waters intrusions. Comparisons are drawn between data collected during the GASTOM 90 tomography experiment and simulated signals computed from various propagation models. Our goal is to better “understand” the propagation in those peculiar conditions in order to define the best strategy for applying matched-field techniques.
