Usage of the laser in the studies through the ocean is very widespread and the each steps of the laser propagation through the ocean is a major topic to be analyzed independently. Objective of this study is specifically focusing on the interaction of the laser with the air-ocean interface and the analysis of the effects of the ocean surface with the gravity waves on the laser propagation. This thesis is based on a theoretical study which is supported with the gravity wave ocean surface model written in MATLAB programming language. The model is based on beam tracing approach rather than using ray tracing like in many similar studies. This thesis highlights brief information about the fields which use the laser propagation through the ocean surface and their history, the details about the air-ocean interface focused on the gravity waves, gravity wave ocean surface model based on beam tracing and the analysis about the effects of the gravity waves on the laser propagation.
