Abstract

Starting with a historical review of geometrical acoustics, a treatment of sound wave propagation is given including the effects of temperature and wind gradients. Analytical solutions of the wave equation are presented for an isothermally and a polytropically stratified still atmosphere and for an atmosphere with wind gradients and wind direction changes as well. The solutions are valid beyond the scope of geometrical acoustics. Dispersion of infrasound is briefly described. (A)
