Sediment acoustic models contain two connected components, the geo-physical description of the sediment and the model of acoustic processes. Geo-physical descriptors are used in the classification of sediments, and they ...

Acoustic interaction with the ocean bottom profoundly affects propagation in shallow waters. However, most forward ocean bottom interactions are modeled as if the bottom were a flat interface or use a simple model to ...

A 2-way integral equation coupled mode (IECM) approach is used to examine the physics of scattering from a rough seabed. Roughness realizations for the seabed are generated from a wavenumber power spectrum whose parameterization ...
