NCPAProp: an open-source, modular infrasound propagation modeling package

NCPAProp is a command-line-driven, fully open-source software package first released in 2016 and under continuous development since then. It aims to provide a comprehensive set of tested and validated full-wave numerical models to simulate long-range propagation of infrasound through realistic atmospheres, at frequencies nominally in the range of 0.1-10 Hz. The package currently includes two normal-mode models of varying complexity, and a parabolic equation model with the option to include a range-dependent atmosphere and orography. This presentation will focus on a description of the models, a discussion of their use, and a summary of the short-term and long-term ongoing development goals for the overall package.

Abstract

NCPAProp is a command-line-driven, fully open-source software package first released in 2016 and under continuous development since then. It aims to provide a comprehensive set of tested and validated full-wave numerical models to simulate long-range propagation of infrasound through realistic atmospheres, at frequencies nominally in the range of 0.1-10 Hz. The package currently includes two normal-mode models of varying complexity, and a parabolic equation model with the option to include a range-dependent atmosphere and orography. This presentation will focus on a description of the models, a discussion of their use, and a summary of the short-term and long-term ongoing development goals for the overall package.
