Abstract :
This study aims to estimate a model for the underwater acoustic environment in a Mediterranean area and to compare the model with existing other models of the sound attenuation in the zone of interest. The contribution of this paper is to develop a protocol to validate and adjust the offshore underwater attenuation models to a model of a Mediterranean area.
