Journal Article
Lam, Y. (2009). An analytical model for turbulence scattered rays in the shadow zone for outdoor sound propagation calculation. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 125(3), 1340-1350. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3076928

In outdoor sound propagation, an inherent problem of the ray tracing method is its inability to determine the sound pressure level in the shadow zone, where geometrical rays do not penetrate. This is a serious problem in a turbulent atmosphere where... Read More about An analytical model for turbulence scattered rays in the shadow zone for outdoor sound propagation calculation.
