PRINCIPLES OF UNDERWATER SOUND SCHULKIN 
Fundamental principles of acoustics and application 
of these principles to underwater sound. Transmission 
of sound in the sea, including refraction, reflection, 
attenuation, and fluctuation. 
APPLIED UNDERWATER SOUND SCHULKIN 
Applied theory and practice for those entering the 
field or working in related fields. Ray theory, normal 
mode theory, sound channels, noise and reverberation, 
measurement techniques, and elements of transducer 
design. 
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SEA WATER MAGNITZKY 
Examination of physical principles governing properties 
of sea water. Comparison of these properties with 
those of pure water. Definition and calculation of 
salinity and density. Distribution of salinity, 
temperature, and density. 
OCEAN SURFACE WAVES SCHULE 
Measurable properties of ocean surface waves and the 
methods of observing and analyzing ocean waves. Demon- 
stration of wave solution of hydrodynamic equations. 
Discussion of various sea surface models including their 
assumptions, solutions, and practical applications. 
Problems of propagation of waves in dispersive medium. 
Examples of various forecasting techniques. 
GEOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY TRACEY 
Topography and composition of ocean floor and coastal 
features together with underlying causes. Emphasis on 
dynamic processes and deductive reasoning required to 
understand ocean features now being extensively observed 
with modern instrumentation.
