Something like that from the ASW Training Mission from Molon Labe:



Can someone point me to the right direction?
The basic basic ML-version explanation of the other two types would be:

CZ: Very long detection ranges on both sides of the layer. The top layer is still the same surface duct from the Surface Duct SSP type, the bottom is a "sound channel" unique to the CZ SSP type, and I think the sound channel is a bit stronger than the surface duct, but it's close. This CZ SSP type also produces convergence zone contacts. This takes the form of concentric bands around a contact, within which you will receive a stronger signal from that contact. These bands occur at 30nm intervals are are probably about 1nm wide.

BL: No layer. Detection ranges in this SSP type vary mostly depending on Bottom Type. Rock bottom type will cause long detection ranges; almost has high as a duct. Mud and Sand result in very short detection ranges (no, there really isn't a middle ground), with Sand being slightly worse IIRC (not much of a difference).
