Abstract: A synthesis is proposed of the acoustic effect of the ocean's variability, based on the angular planewave spectrum representation of the acoustic field. This allows the arbitrary specification of source and receiver directivities, the incorporation of ray tracing via the WKB approximation for refraction by the large scale inhomogeneities of the medium, and the calculation of the random diffraction of the field on reflection at the rough ocean surface and on transmission through regions of strong internal wave activity and of small scale turbulence.
