AN ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL DATA FOR USE IN UPDATING LOW FREQUENCY PROPAGATION LOSS FORECASTS Phi Hip Ivan Harvey An Analysis of Environmental Data for Use in Updating Low Frequency Propagation Loss Forecasts by Phillip Ivan Harvey Lieutenant, United States Navy B.S.E.E., University of Nebraska,1966 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN OCEANOGRAPHY from the NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL December 1972 o Library Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California 93940 ABSTRACT An acoustic model for low frequency (100-2400 HZ) propagation loss within a surface duct is examined. An analysis of the sensitivity of this model as a function of the governing environmental parameters is performed. The results of this analysis show that the frequency and mixed layer depth are influential over a wide range of environmen- tal conditions and that the below layer thermal gradient becomes important at low frequencies when the layer depth is relatively shallow. Under certain conditions, a change in below layer thermal gradient of 2°P/100 FT has the same resultant effect as a 25 FT change in the mixed layer depth The results of this analysis are then utilized to develop a correction algorithm which can be employed to update propagation loss forecasts (issued by Fleet Numerical Weather Central, Monterey) when required due to changing environmental conditions.

INTRODUCTION The Acoustic Sensor Range Prediction (ASRAP) program (NAWEASERVCOKINST, 3160.3, 197D is currently conducted under the direction of Commander, Naval Ueather Service Command and provides computer generated range predictions which are utilized primarily for airborne acoustic sensors. These sensor systems, the passive JEZEBEL system and the active systems of JULIE and active sonobuoys, are dependent upon accurate environmental data forecast through the ASRAP. program. These ASRAP forecasts consist of two general parts, an active portion and a passive portion. This discussion will be limited to the passive part of the forecast. Passive propagation loss forecasts are provided on a weekly basis for most ocean regions in the northern hemisphere. Prior to generating a forecast, the ocean has been divided into regions which have similar acoustic character- istics of sound velocity profile, bottom type, and bottom depth. For example, a near-shore region may consist of a sound velocity profile which is subject to short-term fluctuations due to temperature perturbations, a sandy type bottom, and a relatively shallow depth. In contrast, an open ocean region could consist of a sound velocity profile which has long-term seasonal fluctuations due to temperature changes, a bottom composed of ooze type material, and a relatively deep bottom depth. 12 Once these acoustically homogeneous provinces or domains, termed ASRAP areas, have been defined, the propagation loss for discrete frequencies of 50, 300, 850, and 1700 Hertz is determined. This loss is calculated for three distinct cases: (1) Shallow-Shallow where the sonobuoy hydrophone is placed at 60 feet and the target source is also at 60 feet, (2) Deep-Deep where the hydrophone is at 300 feet and the target is 200 feet below the mixed layer depth (MLD), and (3) Cross-Layer wherein sonic energy crosses the mixed layer. The hydrophone is at 60 feet and the target is 200 feet below the MLD for this case. The manner in which this loss is determined or calcu- lated is dependent to a large degree upon the environmental parameters of layer depth and the below layer thermal grad- ient. If these parameters allow for the transmission of sonic energy from source to receiver via a sonic duct formed between the surface and MLD, the amount of loss encountered can be determined analytically. The analytical method is employed out to a range at which multiple path transmission via bottom reflection and convergence zone paths have a significant effect. Beyond this range, a geometrically solved ray-trace routine is utilized. On the other hand, if no sonic duct is present, then the loss is calculated for the entire field by the ray-trace routine. Mixed Layer Depth is defined as that depth near the surface where the sound velocity reaches a maximum value. 13 The objective of this thesis is to develop a method by which a fleet user of ASRAP forecasts can update the fore- cast propagation loss by applying current environmental data available. This method is desirable since, due to the large number of areas which must be processed (over 1000), and the time required to compute the loss for each area (25 seconds), the passive forecasts are issued only on a weekly basis. Environmental effects which are of sufficient magni- tude to significantly alter the amount of propagation loss encountered can and do occur on a daily basis. This in turn has a marked effect on the tactical employment of passive airborne acoustic sensors since the range to which these sensors are effective is determined to a large extent by the amount of loss encountered. Figure 1 is an example of a passive propagation loss forecast for a particular Pacific Ocean region. In this instance, the layer depth was 200 feet, the below layer gradient was -5°F/100 FT, and the shallow-shallow or in layer case was utilized. It will later be shown that the highest frequency (1700 HZ) is being propagated via the ducted mode, the 300 HZ case has marginal ducting (300 HZ is close to the lowest frequency which can be ducted in a 200 foot layer), and the 50 HZ frequency is propagated by modes other than ducted transmission. From this figure, it can be seen that the ducted mode of transmission is the most efficient means of transmission since less loss is encountered as range increases. 14 o CO ess. w >- >- Z -J O *- < "■ cr o O o »- o o o — o w o >- U Z ui ID a O O O m ' iH Cd o •H P. >> -P «J o m CM O Cm """» £ CO CD Z •H C ._» Cm O O -H LU M -P ft Cd o O to o 2 CO x-i O < cd « C CD o o o •H O -P cd o bfliH cd CD «/> u o 3 < < o •H 18 SC - the scattering coefficient defined as 9 for sea states less than 3 and 18 for sea states greater than or equal to 3. The velocity gradient terms, G and Ga, are considered a function of pressure and temperature only since the effects of salinity are assumed negligible. The pressure effect is given as 0.018 FT/SEC/FT. The thermal effect on the sound velocity gradient can be approximated by a linear function of temperature. For a thermal gradient, G, , given in °F/100 FT, G = 5.842 x 10~2(Gt) FT/SEC/FT. The velocity gradient below the mixed layer is then given as G = 5-842 x 10~2(Gt) - 0.018 FT/SEC/FT when the absolute value of G, (assumed to be always negative) is used. The above layer gradient, Ga, is found in a similar manner. Ignoring the effects of slight temperature gradi- ents (fractions of a degree F/100 FT), this gradient is given as Ga = 0.018 FT/SEC/FT. Following the development of Urick (1967), the spreading loss within a surface duct is given as: Spreading Loss (dB) = 10 log10R • RQ (1) where R is the range from the source in yards and RQ is the transition range. The transition range is defined as the range at which the spreading transitions from spherical to cylindrical. An alternate manner in which to view this is Spreading Loss (dB) = 20 log10R0 + 10 log10(R-RQ) where the parameters are as defined above. The spherical 19 term, 20 log,QR0, can be thought of as having two cylindri- cal spreading components, one in the horizontal and another in the vertical. Horizontal cylindrical spreading then occurs at all ranges, R, while cylindrical spreading in the vertical occurs to an effective layer depth, He, which is equivalent to the transition range, R~ . The net effect is that spherical spreading occurs until the boundaries of the duct are reached and then cylindrical spreading occurs. For simplic- ity in notation, the loss associated with the transition range, R-., will be termed the effective layer loss. The transition range, R. , is given as R0 = (H/3)/2 sin 6 where 6 is the maximum angle of the limiting ray. This angle is given as 6 = ((2H/3)/r)1/2 where r is the radius of curvature of the rays trapped within the duct. For a duct with a constant above layer gradient, Ga, r = CQ/Ga where Cn is the vertex sound velocity. For r >> H, the transition range R-. is given by RQ = ((r-H/3)/2)1/2 when the source is at the surface of the duct. The total 20 spreading loss within the duct then becomes, Spreading Loss (dB) = 10 log-,0 ( (r- H/3)/2 )1/2 +33+10 log]0R when R is in NM. The first term of this expression is depen- dent upon the layer depth H and the above layer gradient Ga. For an isothermal layer, the normal situation creating a surface duct, this term becomes wholly dependent upon the layer depth. The second term of this expression is indepen- dent of the environmental parameters and is a function of range alone. Thus the spreading loss has been separated into a range dependent term and a term which is dependent upon the environmental parameter of layer depth. The loss due to signal attenuation is given by the duct equation Attenuation Loss (dB/NM) = 14.88 x 105 (F~5/3G~1/3H~3 ) + (1/8)F2 + SC(F/H)1/2 (2) for frequencies below 1 KHZ. For frequencies above 1 KHZ, the term (1/8)F2 is replaced by 2F2 ( (0. 1/(1+F2)) + (W( 4100+F2))). This equation contains a leakage attenuation term, an absorption term, and a sea surface scattering term. The leakage attenuation term, F G~ H~ , was devel- oped from normal mode theory by Clay (1968) and accounts for losses which result from sonic energy leaving the duct due to diffractive leakage. It can be noted that the loss 21 encountered is inversely proportional to frequency, layer depth, and below layer sound velocity gradient. This relationship is intuitively plausible. As layer depth increases, the intensity or power per unit area decreases and a lesser amount of propagation loss results. Addition- ally, as the below layer gradient intensifies, the duct becomes a more efficient "wave guide" since the boundary discontinuity is sharper making it more difficult for sonic energy to leave the duct via diffractive leakage. The absorption term, 2F ( '- — = — + ^) , 1 + F 4100 + Fd accounts for the losses due to chemical and viscous relaxa- tion. This expression was derived by curve fitting to empirical data by Thorpe and noted by Urick. This term represents the effects of the two relaxation mechanisms at a temperature of approximately 39 F. The expression, (1/8 )F , is merely an approximation to the previous form for low frequencies and is utilized to simplify the computations. q l The sea surface scattering term,{,g} (F/H)2 , was developed from the results of Marsh and Schulkin from Project AMOS data and subsequently noted by Clay. The coefficient, 9, is used for sea states less than 3 while a coefficient of 18 is utilized for sea states greater than 3- This loss is directly proportional to the frequency and inversely propor- tional to the layer depth. As the source frequency increases, the sea surface appears relatively rougher due to the decrease in signal wave length. Subsequently, at higher frequencies, 22 this roughened sea surface accounts for a greater amount of loss. A lesser amount of scattering loss is encountered for a deepening layer depth due to the decreased intensity within the duct as previously mentioned for the leakage attenuation term. The constant, 14.88 x 10 , serves as a unit conversion factor for loss in dB/NM. The maximum wavelength, Xmax, for a given duct is given by Urick as, Xmax ■ 4.7 x 10*"3H3/2. For an average sound velocity of 5000 FT/SEC, the lowest frequency which can be ducted, F.. , is M J * low5 F, = 5000/(4.7 x 10~3H3/2) low = 1.08 x 106H"3/2 ■ (3) It should be noted that this lower limit is not sharply defined and that ducting at lower frequencies may be encoun- tered, particularly in regions of weak below layer thermal gradients. Because of the approximate nature of this cut- off, frequencies as low as 0.7 F, are allowed to be ducted ■ ^ low in the actual computational procedure. vrhen non-ducted propagation is the case in question, the only losses which can be calculated in a relatively simple manner are spherical spreading and absorption. This is because the exact solution to this propagation mode may be dependent on multiple path transmission and phase coherence effects. The loss due to spherical spreading is 23 given by Spherical Spreading Loss (dB) =66+20 log, nR, where R is in NM. The loss due to absorption can be determined through use of the absorption formula previously mentioned. The loss which is encountered when sonic energy must pass through the mixed layer is termed the cross-layer loss This case occurs when the source is within the duct and the receiver is below the duct or vice-versa. The Fleet Numeri- cal Weather Central, Monterey uses a fixed loss parameter of 10 Db for this loss (Pers. comm., J. Clark, June 1972). In the absence of more complete empirical data upon which to further quantify this loss, the 10 Db approximation is also utilized in this paper. 24 III. COMPUTATIONAL PROCEDURE The computational procedure utilized consisted of essentially two FORTRAN programs. The first program was utilized to determine the amount of loss due to the duct equation (equation 2) while the second was used to find the value of losses due to spreading (equation 1). These programs are listed in Appendix B. Program 1 iterates the duct equation over the specified domain limits for the environmental variables involved. The layer depth was iterated from 50 to 750 FT in 25 FT incre- ments. The below layer thermal gradient was allowed to change from -2°F/100 FT to -20°F/100 FT in 2°F/100 FT steps. Frequency was allowed to change in 100 HZ steps from 100 to 2400 HZ and the sea state changed from low to high. The iteration took place in such a manner as to generate a set of tables for each frequency and sea state combination which yielded the value of the duct loss parameter as a function of layer depth and below layer thermal gradient. Since the low frequency cut-off equation is not sharply defined, frequencies as low as 0.7 F, were allowed to be ducted. M low For frequencies lower than 0J F. , the loss value was set • low' equal to a number larger than the field width allocated for printing the values. Thus the symbol **** was printed indicating a field-width over-ride machine function. The printing of tables in this manner allowed for some variance in the low frequency cut-off while at the same time 25 eliminating the chance for improper interpretation of duct loss values, that is, the misinterpretation of a duct loss value when ducting is not likely is minimized. Several subroutines were utilized within the program to present the results in graphical form. Subroutine DRAW transforms digital data into a form which can be utilized by an offline plotter. Subroutine CONTUR performs a scalar field analysis with a 0.2 dB/NM contour interval. After this analysis, the data is transformed into a form acceptable for an offline plotter. To facilitate the interpretation of these plots, a variable contour interval was utilized in regions of rapid loss gradient change, e.g., in regions where the conditions for ducting were marginal. Program 2 was utilized to compute the losses due to spreading and for the development of peripheral tables and graphs. The development of these tables and graphs is accomplished through the use of the equations presented in the previous section. Subroutine PLOTP was used to plot the online graphs. The output of this program consisted of the following: Table A-l: Lov; frequency cut-off and effective layer loss as a function of the layer depth.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE VARIABILITY OF DUCTED PROPAGATION LOSS The variations in ducted propagation loss can be best treated by first examining the term which is not range dependent — In this case, the spreading loss associated with the transition range, RQ, or the effective layer loss. Recall that this loss is given by 10 log Q( (r •H/3)/2)1/2) where the radius of curvature of the entrapped rays, p, is given by Cn/Ga and H is the mixed layer depth. When an iso- thermal layer Is assumed, the dominant term in this expression becomes the layer depth, H. This parameter can vary over a range of values from 0 FT (or no layer depth) to perhaps 1000 FT where half-channel conditions are likely to persist. At mid-latitudes, the range of this parameter is restricted to values within the range from 0 to 500 feet under normal circumstances. The range of values examined in this study varied from 50 to 750 feet. This range of values encompasses the duct dimensions in which frequencies from approximately 3 KKZ to 50 HZ can be ducted in accordance with the frequency cut-off equation previously noted. The results of this analysis are delineated in Table A-l, Appendix A, and are graphically illustrated in Figure 3. The range of propagation loss values which were encountered varied logarithmically from 29.4 d3 at a layer depth of 50 FT to 35-3 dB when the layer reached 750 FT. At the shallower layer depths, this parameter is more sensitive to change than at deeper layer 27 **#»**«»<«« v*««**«* ««««««« +»««»**»*» [ * * * 4 t> « « .G -p p. 0) „ T3 « > * « cd * H * * + * - CO M < cd * * _1 « CO * UJ CO * • « !\J > o — iH « rn •— « U u 41 a UJ s u. cd « « Ul rH * l/> i/i ♦ l~ i— CU * * 3 ?• D > * •H fl. *-l rsj -P + 0- o o a • 1 O * o UJ UJ CD * f0 in p» « m ~* W •i- ♦ • » o-* ♦ » (NJ »- o u.

'I dB change in the loss, from 29.^ dB to 31.8 dB. On the other hand, a 100 foot change in layer depth from 650 FT to 750 FT results in only a 0.3 dB change in the loss, from 35.0 dB to 35-3 dB. When the source is located at the mid-point of the ver- tical dimension of the duct, a 1.5 dB decrease in the amount of loss results at all layer depths due to reduced transition range. Since source location within the duct is difficult to ascertain, this effect will be neglected and all sources will be assumed to exist at the surface. A second effect which alters the amount of spreading loss encountered in the effective layer term is the above layer gradient, Ga. When the above layer gradient is not isothermal and assumes a positive value, the amount of loss decreases due to a decreased transition range. The magnitude of this change was found to be 3 dB/1 F/100 FT temperature change. It should be noted that by strict classical defini- tion, no "layer" exists when the thermal gradient is positive None the less, a surface duct does exist and has dimensions from the surface to the depth at which the positive gradient merges with the thermocline. FNWC currently normalizes all positive above layer thermal gradients to isothermal condi- tions since this gradient condition is most likely tran- sient in nature and is not likely to persist. This positive gradient effect can therefore be neglected. 29 To examine the changes in propagation loss which result due to changing environmental parameters or changing source frequencies, the duct equation must be analyzed. Perhaps the best manner in which to examine this variability and observe the resultant sensitivity is to hold one or more of the variables constant while allowing the others to be perturbed over the range of values likely to be encountered. Recall that the duct equation is given by Attenuation Loss(dB/NM) = 14.88 x 105(F~5/3G~1/3H~3) + 2F2(0.1/(1+F2) + l/(4lOO+F2)) + {^gHF/H)172. This equation has five pertinent dimensions or parameters: frequency, layer depth, below layer gradient, sea state, and the resulting propagation loss., Since a five dimensional representation would be difficult to interpret and perhaps impossible to graphically represent, the problem can be best approached by examining several three dimensional representations which will serve to illustrate the sensitivity in the variables involved. The first of these three dimensional representations to be considered is the loss surface formed when layer depth and below layer gradient are allowed to vary when frequency and sea state are held constant . This is depicted in Figures 4 through 6. From these Figures it can be noted, that, except at relatively shallow layer depths and low frequencies, 30 O o o o Oh c o x: •H -P -P U O (D C «H to iH o cti to .c o P • >» cd to 3 bOrH •H 0) 31 IS1 W O o o H CfH m 0 O Cm c O £1 •H -P P a O (U c -a 3 > 03 CO rH cd TJ d) c a cd cd r(J -P m C 3 0) CQ •H >CJ ^ cd 3 ^ O W) -P C rH O cj O e £h to 0) w.G Op ^ ^ CD « >5 LTNCC i-l a fc £ 3o bOH •H CD fo.O 32 Cm O C O •H P> O C Cm Cd W cd 0 O cd Cm to U o -p o o (0 w o i-3 tsi ffi o o o CO U o > cd rH c cd p C CD •H TJ cd to KO cd e M CD p M 0) cd CD m £ 3 O hDiH •H CD (x, X) 33 layer depth has the greatest effect. This can be further illustrated by examining Figures 7 through 10. These plots show iso-loss contours for a fixed frequency and sea state over the ranges examined for layer depth and below layer gradient. Note that at deeper layer depths and at higher frequencies, the contour lines tend to become parallel to the below layer gradient axis signifying little dependence upon this parameter. At relatively shallow layer depths and a lower frequencies, the below layer gradient becomes significant. For example, in Figure 7 for 200 Hz, at a 250 foot layer depth, a change in gradient from 2 F/100 FT to o 4 F/100 FT results in a change in loss of approximately 1 dB/NM. In contrast, Figure 10 for 2000 Hz shows that for any given layer depth, there is negligible (less than 0.1 dB/NM) change in loss over the entire range of below layer gradient values. Note that as the frequency increases, the contour spacing at relatively shallow layer depths decreases, indicating a stronger dependence on the layer depth parameter, Since the layer depth and frequency appear to have the most effect on the resultant propagation loss over a wide range of domain, a similar loss surface can be constructed by holding the below layer gradient and sea state constant while allowing the frequency and layer depth to vary. From Figures 11 and 12, it can be seen that the regions which have the greatest change are those which lie in the vicinity of marginal ducting conditions. The term marginal ducting conditions is interpreted to mean conditions which lie in 34 LAYER(ft) 50 LOS S(db/nm) 250 450 650 750 2 6 10 14 G R A Dl E NT(°I/100M) 200 HZ SEA S TA T E < 3 Figure 7.

When frequency is allowed to vary, the amount of elevation which results varies from 0.2 dB/NM at 100 Hz to 1 dB/NM at 2 KHz. This is - illustrated in Figure 16. As the frequency increases, there is an increase in the loss gradient with respect to layer depth. This gradient increase can be seen in the divergence or widening of the spacing between the individual layer depth lines in Figure 17. When the sea state is increased (shown by the dashed lines), this divergence increases due to a stronger dependence on fre- quency. Thus, it can be noted that frequency has a greater effect than layer depth on the amount of propagation loss which is encountered when going from low to high sea state. In summary, it can be stated that frequency and layer depth have the greatest effect on the amount of loss which is encountered over a relatively wide range of the domains of interest. At low frequencies and relatively shallow layer depths, the below layer thermal gradient has an appreciable effect. This is particularly notable where conditions for ducting are marginal. An increase in sea state results in an increase in the amount of loss encountered over all regions of the domain with frequency being the major factor in determining the amount of increase. Finally, the non-range dependent term associated with the effective layer depth is most sensitive at shallow layer depths. 46 LOSS.Db/NM 6t 12 f/10 0f {GRADIENT SEA STATE < 3 500 1000 1500 FREQUENCY.HZ 2000 2500 Figure 17. Propagation loss for high and low sea states as a function of frequency. Gradient is -12°F/100 FT. 47 To further quantify the loss gradient, it is possible to examine the rate of change in any of the governing parameters at some point within the domain while the others are held constant. A point within the domain is located or specified by delineating a frequency, layer depth, below layer gradient, and sea state. Nov: that this point has been uniquely specified, the gradients with respect to frequency, layer depth, below layer gradient, and sea state can be independently specified. These gradients can be found by taking the partial derivative of the loss term with respect to the variable desired, applying the amount of change desired and then evaluating this expression for a finite numerical value. An alternate method which is much less complex and yet suffices in terms of accuracy desired is a central differ- ence numerical method. The gradient is determined by taking the difference between loss values one increment previous to the location and one increment in advance of that location and then dividing this difference by 2. The "average" change over this range is then assumed to exist at the location in question. For example, if the point 500 HZ, 300 FT layer depth, A°F/100 FT, and low sea state were specified, the loss gradient with respect to layer depth change could be found by evaluating the expression Loss gradient (dB/NM/25 FT change) = (Loss500,275,4,low " Loss500,325,4,low)/2j where the loss subscripts represent frequency, layer depth, belov; layer gradient, and sea state respectively. 48 Table I was compiled using this technique to evaluate the gradient at several points in the domain. A "central difference was utilized for all cases except the frequency gradient in the 100 HZ examples and the sea state changes. A forward difference was utilized in the frequency gradient at 100 HZ. The change in the amount of propagation loss encountered due to a sea state change was noted by taking the difference in loss values occurring at high and low sea state conditions. From this table, it can be seen that the same general relationships discussed previously in terms of the three dimensional loss surfaces still hold. This table has the advantage of permitting a quantitative examin- ation of the sensitivity of each loss parameter. For example, it was previously noted that the below layer gradient had a significant effect upon the total amount of loss encountered at relatively shallow layer depths and at low frequencies, particularly where conditions for ducting were found to be marginal. At 100 HZ, the layer depth required in strict accordance with the cut-off frequency formula is approximately 485 feet. Thus when the layer depth is specified as 500 feet, conditions for ducting should be considered marginal. From Table I, it can be seen that under these conditions, the change in loss due to a 25 FT change in layer depth is approximately equivalent to the change in loss due to a change in the below layer gradient of 2°F/100 FT. For exam- ple, if the layer depth deepened by 25 FT and the below layer gradient became less intense by 2 F/100 FT, the resultant 49 a> -p bO c C 0) a £ & CD o u v_^ o CO c CO ■H •H <--^ faO H fe Jh CD o a o r-l /<~N \ S Ph is o \ CO CQ ■^s -a C5 <• — < \ c .-3 o < ■H ■P •~N rt E-« o P^ o l-q LT\ C\J -P v_^ Cti w O J-> \ c ►J CD < •H TJ .— ^ a to u K o o CO o w rH o ^^ ►J fe < \ ,J < C\J o CvJ rH O CO o rH o o o en o o o CO o o o O CO H o O in o in o o in LTV o o in o o o in o in CO o in o o o o in o o o o o o in o o o o o in o o o o o in o in in o CO o in o in o o o o o o o CO o in o o o o o o o in o o o o o o o o o o M CD H .o EH o o rH fc O w O U rH CD \ . -p fe a> O -=3" -=r CO CO -=r -=T ■=T CO CO OJ ^r ^T •=T CO CO CO £ v-^ rH rH rH H rH rH H rH a o u a p-. ^"> En O o O O o O O o o o o O O O o o bO fc O o o O o o o o o o in O O O o o c "■•— - in f- in t- CO ro VD CO CO VD rH CO vo rH CO CO ■H X +3 tf o *"> o o o O o o O o o O O o o O o o o CS3 o o o o o o O o o O O o o O o o ►J rH rH H rH m in in in in in O rH o rH o H O CO o CO o OJ &H 50 loss would remain approximately constant since these effects would counteract one another. That is, the deepening layer depth would decrease the loss while the less intense below layer gradient increased the loss. In contrast, at 1000 HZ, 150 FT layer depth, and Jj°/100 FT gradient, the change due to changing layer depth is 3 times the change due to changing below layer gradient. Thus under these circumstances, a change in layer depth of 25 o FT is equivalent to a change of 6 F/100 FT below layer gradient . The change due to frequency is most significant at lower frequencies, particularly at relatively shallow layer depths. For example, the frequency gradient at 100 HZ is 5 times greater than the frequency gradient at 1000 HZ in regions where the layer depth is close to the minimum required for ducting. As previously noted, the change due to increasing sea state steadily increases with frequency with a relatively minor effect due to layer depth. Over the range of 100 HZ to 2000 HZ, it can be seen that the loss increases by a factor of approximately 6 due to an increase in frequency. When the frequency is held constant, the change in loss due to layer depth change varies by a factor of roughly 2 over the range considered. In summary, change frequency and layer depth have the greatest effect on transmission loss over the range from 300 to 2*100 HZ. Eelow 300 HZ, particularly where conditions for ducting are marginal, the below layer thermal gradient 51 can have an appreciable effect on the amount of propagation loss encountered. Under marginal ducting conditions, it was found that for low frequencies, a 25 FT change in layer depth had the same resultant effect on the loss gradient as a change in gradient of 2 F/100 FT. An increase in sea state was found to increase the amount of loss at all points within the domain with the largest change occurring at higher frequencies. It was noted that this loss varied by a factor of 6 over the frequency range of 100 to 2*i00 HZ while it varied by a factor of 2 over the layer depth range of 50 to 750 FT. Finally, the non-range dependent term associated with the effective layer depth is wholly dependent upon layer depth. This parameter was found to be approxi- mately 8 times more sensitive at shallow layer depths when compared to deep layer depths for the range of depths considered. 52 V. APPLICATION TO THE TACTICAL PROBLEM Adapting to changing environmental conditions is perhaps one of the most important problems in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) today. This is particularly apparent in passive detection. Submarine acoustic source levels have steadily decreased as technology has advanced while the amount of loss suffered by these signals has remained constant for a given set of environmental conditions. The net result is a much smaller difference between sound emitted and sound received. With the advent of ASRAP came the ability to predict, within specified statistical limits, the amount of loss which a signal would undergo as a function of range, frequency, and various environmental parameters. The weekly time interval between forecasts makes it tactically prudent and operationally necessary to update these forecasts when- ever the resultant change in the propagation loss parameter becomes significant. To perform the updating of an ASRAP forecast, the infor- mation available "On-Station" must first be defined, then measured, and then finally applied in the form of a correction algorithm. The source frequency of interest may be obtained either from intelligence information or from actual detections currently under investigation. Remaining to be defined and measured are the environmental parameters of layer depth, below layer gradient, and sea state. Layer depth and the below layer thermal gradient are obtainable from an airborne 53 expendable bathythermograph (AXBT) trace. The sea state is obtained either from direct visual observation or, in the event of cloud cover or darkness, by noting the amount of sonobuoy transmission interference due to waves overwashing the sonobuoy and thereby interrupting the radio transmission ("wash-over"). Utilizing these parameters, it is possible to develop a correction algorithm to be employed in conjunc- tion with the equations previously developed to perform the desired updating function. This will allow for the correc- tion of forecast propagation loss when ducting conditions are present. The first step in this updating procedure is to ascer- tain if the change in propagation loss due to changing environmental conditions is significantly different from that forecast. That is, will the resulting change in propa- gation loss significantly alter the tactical problem to an extent where updating of the forecast is warranted. The question of what is significant must first be answered. This concept of significance is highly relative and may vary from one tactical problem to another. For instance, a 10$ change in the propagation loss may be significant in one tactical situation and yet not be deemed significant in another. Because of this relative nature, a general method will be developed to yield a reference parameter which can be utilized as a guideline for individual situation judgements as to significance. This guideline parameter is the amount of propagation loss change at a range of 10 NM and is denoted 54 by AL, ~. This reference parameter will serve as a common point or a reference frame upon which further decisions can i be based. By utilizing the tables and/or graphs presented in Appendix A, the following step-by-step procedure can be utilized to determine AL-.0: 1. Determine if the ducted mode of propagation is likely to exist by finding the cut-off layer depth present for the frequency of interest. Table A-l can be utilized for this purpose. 2. If ducting is present, determine the amount of change due to the effective layer loss term (due to changing layer depth) by subtracting the loss at the forecast layer depth from the loss at the layer depth present on-station. 3. From the table in Appendix A corresponding to the predicted sea state and the closest forecast frequency (100,300,850, or 1700 HZ), determine the forecast duct loss term by entering the table at the predicted layer depth and below layer thermal gradient. 4. Determine the on-station duct loss term by entering the table which corresponds to the actual sea state present and the closest frequency desired with the layer depth and below layer thermal gradient determined from the AXBT. 5. Determine the change in duct loss by subtracting the results of step (k) from the results of step (3). 6. To determine the change in propagation loss at a range of 10 NM, AL,0, algebraically add the results of step (2) to 10 times the results of step (5). 55 Several examples of this procedure follow: Example 1: Forecast Conditions On-Station Conditions 850 HZ 1000 HZ 250 FT layer depth 150 FT layer depth -6°F/100 FT gradient -10°F/100 FT gradient Low sea state High sea state 1. From Table A-l, a 250 FT layer will duct frequencies higher than 273 HZ and a 150 FT layer will duct frequencies higher than 588 HZ. It can be assumed that under these conditions, both the forecast and the on-station conditions will permit a ducted mode of propagation. 2. From Table A-l, the effective layer loss change is determined by Effective layer loss,2C.Q pm% : 32.9 dB Effective layer loss,..™ Pmy 31.8 dB Change + 1.1 dB 3.

The change in propagation loss at a range of 10 NM is Effective layer loss change: + 1.1 dB 10 x duct loss change: 10 x (-1.3) = -13.0 dB Change at 10 NM, AL1Q = 1.1 + (-13.0) = -11.9 dB In this example, under the actual conditions, the loss is 11.9 dB GREATER than that under the predicted conditions . Example 2: Forecast Conditions On-Station Conditions 300 HZ 500 HZ 300 FT layer 250 FT layer -10°F/100 FT gradient -12°F/100 FT gradient Low sea state Low sea state 1. From Table A-l, the cut-off frequency for a 300 FT layer depth is 208 HZ. For a 250 FT layer depth, the cut-off is 273 HZ. Conditions are present for ducting under both the predicted and the on-station conditions. 2. From Table A-l, the change in the effective layer loss is Effective layer loss/.Qfix: 33.3 dB Effective layer loss /pj-oN •' 32.9 dB Change + 0 . 4 dB 3. From Table A-6, the forecast duct loss term is 300 HZ, 300 FT, -10°F/100 FT, low sea state: 0.8 dB/NM. 4. The duct loss under the on-station conditions is found from Table A-8 to be 500 HZ, 250 FT, -12°F/100 FT, low sea state: 0.8 dB. 57 5. The change in the duct loss is then Forecast: 0.8 dB/NM On-Station: 0 . 8 dB/NK Change: 0.0 dB 6. The change in propagation loss at 10 NM, AL 0, is Effective layer loss change: O.k dB 10 x duct loss change: 10 x (0.0) = 0.0 dB Change at 10 NM, AL1Q = + O.k dB In this example, there was 0.4 dB LESS loss under the actual conditions than under the forecast conditions.

From Table A-l, it can be seen that the cut-off frequency for the shallower layer depth is lower than either the closest forecast frequency or the frequency of interest, that ducting will be present in both situations. 2. From Table A-l, the change in the effective layer loss term is found as, Effective layer loss ,pp,-\: 32.7 dB Effective layer loss,7rs: 30 • 3 dB Change + 2 A\ dB 58 3. From Table A-kk, the duct loss under the forecast conditions is given as 1700 HZ, 225 FT, -12°F/100 FT, high sea state: 1.8 dB/NM, 4. The duct loss for the on-station conditions is found from Table A-23 to be 2000 HZ, 75 FT, -^°F/100 FT, 'low sea state: 3.6 dB/NM. 5. The change in the duct loss term is Forecast: 1.8 dB/NM On-Station: 3.6 dB/NM Change: - 1.8 dB/NM 6. The parameter AL-, 0 is found as Effective layer loss change: + 2J\ dB 10 x Duct loss change 10 x (-1.8) = -18.0 dB Change at 10 NM, AL1Q = -15.6 dB. Under these circumstances, there was 15.6 dB MORE loss on-station than forecast at a range of 10 NM. Example h: Forecast Conditici.r On-Station Conditions 850 HZ • 1000 HZ 250 FT No Layer -6°F/100 FT -6°F/100 FT Low sea state Low sea state 1. From Table A-l, ducting is likely under the forecast conditions. No ducting is possible under the on-station conditions . 59 2. The change in the propagation loss at 10 NM, AL,0,is given by Forecast ducted loss - (On-station non-ducted loss) Forecast loss at 10 NM: Effective layer loss = 32.9 dB Spreading loss ~ ^3-0 dB Duct loss = 8.0 dB Total Forecast 83.9 dB On-station Loss at 10 NM (from Table A-2): Spreading loss = 86.0 dB Absorption loss = 1.0 dB Total On-station = 87.0 dB AL1Q = 83.9 - 87.0 = -3.1 dB In this example there was 3 • 1 dB MORE loss under the on-station conditions than under the forecast conditions. It must be stressed that this is an approximate solution for the non-ducted case and that the actual loss encoun- tered may vary to some extent from the solution obtained. The value which one assigns to the parameter AL, Q as a critical value is, for the most part, arbitrary. That is, the point at which an on-station update will be performed due to the arbitrary limit on AL, n being exceeded will again be dependent upon the tactical situation. As a rule of thumb, the value of ± 6dB can be utilized. This value has statistical significance since this value is normally utilized as the standard deviation for the Figure of Merit 60 2 equation. Thus, if the forecast and on-station propagation losses vary by more than ± 6 dB, an updating of the propagation loss would be required when applying the above rule of thumb. Once it has been established that the updating of a propagation loss profile is advisable, the following step- by-step procedure can be used in conjunction with the worksheet shown in Figure 18. 1. Determine if ducting is likely under the on-station conditions. Recall, that the low- frequency cut-off for a given duct size is not sharply defined and that ducting may occur at shallower layer depths. In the computational procedure used to derive the tables and graphs depicted in Appendix A, ducting was permitted at frequencies as low as 0.7 ^-i , • If ducting is not likely, follow the procedure delineated in steps 7-8. 2. For ducted cases, determine the loss due to the effective layer spreading by entering Table A-l with the on- station layer depth. 3. Determine the ducted spreading loss from Table A-2 at the desired range intervals. 4. Determine the duct loss at the desired ranges by multi- plying the range (NM) and the loss (dB/NM) found by entering the appropriate table in Appendix A which 2 The Figure of Merit equation is given as FOM = SL - AN - RD + DI= propagation loss where SL is the source level, AN is the ambient noise, RD is the recognition differential, and DI is the directivity index (NAVWEASERVCOMINST 3160.3). 61 ^CAST BT ON -ST A.

If cross-layer conditions are present, add 10 dB. 6. The propagation loss at a given range R is found by Propagation Loss (dB) = Effective Layer Loss + Ducted Spreading Loss (at R) + R x (Duct Loss) + Cross- Layer Loss (if present). 7. If ducting is not present, the only losses which can be readily determined are the non-ducted (spherical) spreading loss and the frequency dependent absorption loss. From Table A-2, determine the spreading loss at any range R. The absorption loss (dB/NM) can also be found from Table A-2. 8. To determine the approximate non-ducted propagation loss at a range R, Propagation Loss (dB) = Non-ducted Spreading Loss + R x (Absorption Loss). It should be noted again that this solution is not exact and may be dependent upon multi-path transmissions as well as phase coherence effects. To further examine the effects of changing environmental conditions on the tactical problem, several examples will be utilized. Consider the case given in Example 1. In this example, the layer depth, below layer thermal gradient, sea state and frequency differed from the conditions which were forecast. Figure 19 depicts the forecast and on-station 63 FORECAST BT ON -ST A.

For a 90 dB FOM, this results in a decrease in the Median Detection Range (MDR)^ from 15 NM forecast to 8 NM on-station. For an 80 dB FOM, the MDR decreases from 7 NM to 4 NM. Under common operating situations, this change would be considered significant . Example 2 gave an example where changing on-station conditions were, to a large extent, offsetting. That is, the change in layer depth was offset by a change in below layer gradient. Since the parameter AL, 0 is small (0.^1 dB), there is no need under these conditions to update the ASRAP propagation loss forecast. Figure 20 illustrates this example. Example 3 gave conditions which might be likely to ^ exist if heavy weather had existed at the time the forecast was issued. The on-station conditions, at a time after the weather had subsided, are much different than when forecast. Figure 21 illustrates the propagation loss profiles under the forecast and actual on-station conditions. Taking a 90 dB FOM, the MDR was reduced from 9 NM to 5-5 NM. For an 80 dB FOM, the MDR was reduced from 5 NM to 3 NM. The case of a 90 dB FOM would most likely be considered signifi- cant for normal operating circumstances while the change for The Median Detection Range is that range for which there is a probability of detection of 0.5 using the FOM equation. 66 FORECAST BT_ ON -ST A.

Example H illustrates the case where ducting conditions were forecast but on-station conditions dictated that no ducting was possible. Figure 22 illustrates this situation. When a 90 dB FOM is considered, the resulting change in MDR is 2 NM, from 15 NM to 13 NM. The same change in MDR is also evident when the FOM is taken as 80 dB since the forecast and on-station profiles tend to differ by similar amounts over this range interval. Again, the non-ducted solution is only an approximation but this estimate is perhaps better than no estimate at all. In summary, it is now possible to determine a reference parameter, AL..^, which will aid in determining if an update of the forecast is required. As a rule of thumb, if AL10 differs by more than one standard deviation . (normally taken as 6 dB), then an update should be performed. Once it is determined that an update is desired, it may be accomplished by determining the different loss values involved from tables or graphs listed in Appendix A and summing these loss values in accordance with the correction algorithm. 71 FORECAST BT_ ON -ST A.

CONCLUSIONS The model for low frequency ducted propagation loss consisted of the specification and determination of the losses encountered within a surface duct. These losses resulted from the reduction of power per unit area due to spreading and attenuation within the duct. The spreading loss is comprised of spherical spreading to a transition range and the cylindrical spreading at all greater ranges. The spherical spreading loss is accounted for in the loss termed the effective layer loss. The cylindrical spreading loss is termed the ducted spreading loss. The attenuation term consisted of the losses associated with diffractive leakage of sonic energy from the duct, scattering of energy from a roughened sea surface, and absorption due to relaxation mechanisms. The sensitivity of this model was found to be dependent upon the governing parameters which specify the loss terms. These parameters are the frequency, layer depth, sound velocity gradients above and below the layer, and the sea state. Over a relatively wide range of the domain investigated, the frequency and layer depth were found to have the greatest effect on the amount of propagation loss encountered. Over those portions of the domain which lie near the conditions required for the ducting of sonic energy, the below layer gradient has an appreciable effect. For example, within this 74 region of marginal ducting conditions, a below layer thermal gradient change of 2 F/100 FT was found to have the same effect on the resulting propagation loss as a change in the mixed layer depth of 25 FT. In contrast, in areas away from this region, the loss becomes more independent of the below layer gradient. In some areas, a change of 18 F/100 FT results in a negligible change in propagation loss (less than 0.1 dB/NM). The change in loss due to a change in frequency is most intense at low frequencies and relatively shallow layer depths. This loss gradient was found to be as much as 5 times more intense at 100 HZ than at 1000 HZ under comparable environmental conditions. An increase in the sea state was found to cause an increase in the amount of loss resulting at all locations within the domain of interest. The amount of increase in propagation loss varied as a function of frequency and layer depth. The magnitude of this change ranged from several tenths of a dB/NM at lower frequencies to approximately 1 dB/NM at higher frequencies. Frequency was found to have the most effect upon this change and varied by a factor of 6 over the range investigated. The change in loss was found to vary by a factor of 2 as a function of the layer depth when the sea state increased. The change in loss due to the transition range or the effective layer loss was found to be dependent upon the mixed layer depth when simplifying assumptions were imposed regarding the above layer gradient and target location within the 75 vertical dimension of the surface duct. The resulting . change in propagation loss was found to be approximately 8 times more sensitive to change in mixed layer depth over shallow intervals as compared to the deeper intervals. The amount of change in ducted propagation loss due to changing environmental conditions is dependent not only upon the magnitude of the change but also upon the location within the frequency-sound velocity gradient-sea state domain at which the change occurs. That is, the resultant change in loss is dependent upon the magnitude of the changes in the environmental parameters, the location within the domain from which such changes originate, and the direction in which the changes proceed. The value of change in propagation loss which constitutes significance is relative to the tactical situation under consideration. In one instance, a 6 dB change at some specified range may be significant while in another instance, it may be deemed negligible. This apparent ambiguity can be best approached by permitting the significance decision to be made within the context of the actual situation at hand. To aid in this decision, the reference parameter AL,q, the change in propagation loss encountered under actual conditions from that which was forecast for a range of 10 NM from the source, was developed. As a rule-of-thumb, if AL exceeds one standard deviation (taken to have a nominal value of 6 dB), the forecast should be updated when possible. 76 The correction algorithm for the ducted propagation case is compatible with the method currently employed by the FNWC since identical models and equations are utilized. The ability to update this form of propagation loss is extremely important when the near field or direct path situation is considered. Additionally, this method can be employed to enhance the accuracy of forecast propagation less in cases where the actual and predicted environmental conditions are identical since this method allows for a more finite interpolation within the frequency domain. There is much to be done in the field of ASRAP update, particularly in the area of non-ducted propagation cases. It is hoped that the methods employed here will aid in furthering this effort. 77 Appendix A.

SPONSORING MILITARY ACTIVITY Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California 939^0 3. ABSTRACT An acoustic model for low frequency (100-2400 HZ) propagation loss within a surface duct is examined. An analysis of the sensitivity of* this model as a function of the governing environmental parameters is performed. The results of this analysis show that the frequency an- mixed layer depth are influential over a wide range of environment Editions and that the below layer thermal gradient b™simportant at low frequencies when the layer depth is relatively shallow. Under certain conditions, a change in below layer thermal gradient of 2C' '100 FT has the same resultant effect as a 25 FT change in the mived layer deDth. The results of this analysis are then utilized |to"develop a correction algorithm which can be employed to update pr-oacration loss forecasts (issued by Fleet Numerical Weather Central, fcnterey) when required due to changing environmental conditions. al DD ,fn°or:..1473 ralion_ KEY WO R DI antisubmarine warfare sound, low frequency range prediction sensor, acoustic loss, propagation environmental acoustics DD ,F"M473 «B4« S/N 0101-807-6*21 ROLE *T LINK B ROLF.
