Abstract
An adiabatic normal mode solution for the benchmark wedge is described for both fluid and solid attenuating ocean bottoms. The continuous mo de contribution is treated as a sum of leaky modes. Each trapped mode changes smoothly into a leaky mode as the water depth decreases. The P ekeris branch line integral can be ignored if an approximate mode norm alization is used when the normal mode pole approaches the branch poin t. (C) 1997 Acoustical Society of America.
