NORM2L : an interactive computer program for acoustic normal mode calculations for the Pekeris model / D. D. Ellis ; approved by R. F. Brown.: D68-21/4-1980E-PDF

"The interactive computer program, NORM2L, calculates the discrete normal modes and acoustic propagation loss for the Pekeris model of the ocean. The Pekeris model is a simple two-layer model in which the two layers represent the seawater and seabed. For many shallow-water environments, the model is a reasonable approximation to the actual physical situation and can be used to investigate acoustic propagation at low frequencies. For ease of future expansion and modification, the program NORM2L is written in modular form in FORTRAN. The results of NORM2L are compared with those of other computer programs"--Abstract, page ii.
