This paper presents observations of two classes of acoustic arrivals recorded on a sparsely populated vertical line array (VLA) moored in the center of the Catoche Tongue, a major reentrant in the Campeche Bank in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. The acoustic signals were generated by signals underwater sound (SUS) located 50-80 km from the VLA. The first class of arrivals was identified as resulting from a direct (non-horizontally refracted) path. Then following a quiescent period, a second, more diffuse class of arrivals is observed and is believed to be the result of horizontal refraction from the margin of the Tongue. A spectral analysis of the measured data revealed that both classes of arrivals were characterized by the source spectrum associated with SUS. Additionally, the difference in time between the onset of the first and second class of arrivals observed as a function of range from the VLA is consistent with the relative difference in the length of the direct and refracted paths. The observations are further supported by a three-dimensional (3D) acoustic propagation computation that reproduces many of the features of the measured data and provides additional insight into the details of the 3D propagation.
