In addition to the presence of sound pulses in the geometric shadow zone due to 'leakage' and bottom reflections, experiments reveal the presence of intermediate 'scattered signals.' On the basis of time-dependent analysis of the structure of these signals, it is hypothesized that the scattered signals are generated within the water column 'in the vicinity of a caustic surface formed in the near sound-irradiated zone,' with arrivals from the scattered signals having travelled over several different ray paths.

structures in the NE Atlantic revealed obvious advantages for the 'PARASOUND.' Improvements in the resolution/penetration ratio by the 'parametric effect,' the narrow beam angle, digitization of data, display of the record, and comfort in handling provide better information about the upper layers of the sea bed. Combined with a bathymetric mapping system such as Sea Beam or Hydrosweep, this instrument allows fast, detailed charting of bottom structures.

Vertical profiles of sound speed off Noshiro and around the epicenter of the 1983 earthquake show that a sound channel formed in August and disappeared in March 1983.
