Abstract
Data on oceanographic conditions in the Levantine Sea in the eastern
end of the Mediterranean Sea were compiled. Water masses, bottom sediments,
and bottom topography are described. Four locations were chosen
as representative of the Levantine Sea. Acoustic propagation was modelled
for four different months in the 50 to 5000 Hz frequency range for source
and receiver depths of 21 to 300 ft at each location. Optimum passive
detection of submarine targets was found to occur when source and receiver
were at the same depth. This could be achieved with the sonar either on
a submarine or lowered below a surface ship.
