Frequency Dependent Bottom Loss and Marine Sediment Attenuation.

Abstract

It is the purpose of this memorandum: (1) to assert that marine sediment attenuation is proportional to the first power of the frequency for a given sample of sediment, (2) to explain the frequency dependence of bottom loss as a result of this linear relationship, and (3) to present bottom loss curves for other frequencies of interest.
