Abstract:
The reflection and scattering of acoustic signals by the bottom of the ocean depends upon the physical properties of the bottom and the wavelength spectrum of the signals. On the basis of the frequency and grazing angle dependence of the reflected or scattered signals, physical properties such as the densities, acoustic velocities of subbottom layers, and the rms roughness of the layers can be estimated.
