Abstract :
This bibliography consists of 974 references from over 247 journals and other publications, and represents contributions from over 1087 authors. The individual papers of this survey contain a large number of worthwhile references, many of which are not included in the bibliography because of issue date or for other reasons. The bibliography in its entirety is set up to provide multiple entry points into a subject area. Coverage of this bibliography is extensive but not exhaustive. It is international in scope, and spans the time period 1966-1967. The initial search was made in the 1) mathematical reviews, 2) applied mechanics reviews, and 3) geophysical reviews, as well as 4) the abstracts sections of the journals of the IEEE. In addition, indices and tables of contents of over 247 journals were scanned for further references. Only the open literature is covered, but this includes conference records, monographs, and books, as well as journal articles. The subject matter of this bibliography includes theoretical and experimental information on underwater acoustics and intimately related fields. A rather liberal policy has been followed in defining boundaries of the subject area to be included. Information specifically concerned with ocean waves and currents as well as ocean bottom topography, sedimentation, and layers has been included only to the extent that it is important to the acoustic propagation and transmission problems in the ocean and as far as it crystallizes the geometry and physical nature of the acoustic boundaries of the oceans. Papers which present new or novel combinations of old mathematical methods useful in ocean acoustics have also been included whenever it was found desirable. Soviet literature is the most heavily represented foreign literature in this survey.
