Abstract

A new method is discussed for exact rapid computation of the depth-dependent Green's function occuring in full integral solutions to the acoustic and elastic Helmholtz wave equation, allowing calculations of underwater acoustic propagation loss and full wavefield synthetic seismograms, in range-independent plane stratified media.
