Abstract :
The characteristics of sound transmission, reverberation, and ambient noise under ice differ significantly from those found in the waters of more temperate regions. The environmental factors and their influence upon acoustic behavior in the Arctic and Subarctic are discussed. Problems associated with expanding the data base for prediction of system performance in this adverse environment are presented.
