Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to construct families of normal mode functions and to derive corresponding normal mode expansions for the acoustic propagator A. The basic physical concepts and results are summarized in §1. A more detailed formulation and complete proofs of all the results are developed in the remaining sections. This rather long chapter provides the analytical foundation for the solutions of the propagation problems that are developed in Chapters 4 and 5.
