Books

• L.M. Brekhovskikh and Yu P. Lysanov, Fundamentals of Ocean Acoustics, Springer-Verlag (1991).
  Excellent, readable book on both the math and the physics.
• L.M. Brekhovskikh and O. A. Godin, Acoustics of Layered Media (I & II), Springer-Verlag (1990).
  Very mathematical presentation; probably difficult reading for many but contains a wealth of useful results.
• William S. Burdic, Underwater acoustic system analysis, Prentice-Hall (1991).
  A nice balance between signal processing and acoustics; as the title says, basically what you need to know to understand and design acoustic systems.
• John DeSanto, Scalar Wave Theory: Green's functions and applications, Springer-Verlag (1992).
  A nice, mathematical presentation of graduate level material on waves.
• Paul C. Etter, Underwater Acoustic Modeling: Principles, techniques and applications, E&FN Spon (Chapman & Hall), (1996).
  Probably the best book to get an overview of specific noise, propagation, and reverb models that are available. Less theory and implementation information than JKPS.
• George Frisk, Ocean and Seabed Acoustics: A theory of wave propagation, Prentice-Hall (1994).
  A mathematical treatment, emphasizing stratified problems.
• Finn Jensen, William Kuperman, Michael Porter, and Hernik Schmidt, Computational Ocean Acoustics, Springer-Verlag (2000)
  Details about the numerical implementation and use of ocean acoustic models.
• Boris G. Katsnelson and Valery G. Petnikov, Shallow Water Acoustics, Springer (2002).
  A readable overview of all aspects of shallow water acoustics.
• Ding Lee, Martin H. Schultz, Numerical Ocean Acoustic Propagation in three-dimensions, World Scientific (1995).
  Emphasizes the math/numerical issues more than the physics
• Herman Medwin and Clarence S. Clay, Fundamentals of Acoustical Oceanography, Academic Press (1998).
  Covers ocean acoustics quite broadly but is particularly useful for material on scattering by objects, bubbles, and boundaries.
• Walter Munk, Peter Worcester, and Carl Wunsch, Ocean Acoustic Tomography, Cambridge (1995).
  Great book on the subject by the pioneers of the field.
• Alex Tolstoy: Matched-Field Processing, World-Scientic (1993).
  The only overview book available on MFP. A nice, readable introduction to the basics.
• Robert Urick: Principles of Underwater Acoustics, McGraw-Hill (1983).
  A classic book on the subject. Despite being one of the first books it's still a key reference with large parts of the material not available elsewhere. Behind the engineering treatment is clearly a solid understanding of the science behind things.
• Physics of Sound in the Sea, Peninsula Publishing (originally published in 1945).
  Emphasizes the physics. They knew an awful lot already by 1945.
