Acoustic ray tracing in the atmosphere: with gravitational effect and attenuation considered

<p>An acoustic ray tracing model is developed to take into account the impacts of gravitational field and realistic atmospheric attenuation. Ray tracing equations are deduced from the real part of the dissipative dispersion relation, while the acoustic attenuation coefficient and growth rate i...
