Diffraction over a seamount has been studied by construction of a
three-dimensional physical model of Dickens seamount. When laboratory
diffraction and scattering data for air are scaled to the ocean and added
to ray refraction losses at sea there is excellent agreement with ocean
experiments reported by Ebbeson et al <J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 64, S76 (1978)>.
