This book concisely expounds the fundamental concepts phenomena theories and procedures in a
complete and systematic sense. In this book not only almost all the important achievements
from predecessors but also the contributions from the author himself have been summed up
profoundly. Starting from the derivation of fundamental equations various classical acoustical
phenomena such as reflection refraction scattering diffraction and absorption in atmosphere
as well as the influences of gravitation and rotation of the earth on the behaviors of
different atmospheric waves including acoustic waves have been discussed in viewpoints of wave
acoustics and geometrical acoustics respectively. The recent developments of several
computation methods in the field of atmospheric acoustics have been introduced in some detail.
As for the application aspects atmospheric remote sensing has been discussed from the angle of
inverse problems.
