Aspects of the Acoustic Bottom Interaction Problem.

Abstract

This report is a synopsis of work carried out during 1977 on acoustic interaction with the sea floor. Results are reported concerning roughness effects, mode stripping effects on the depth dependence of propagated sound fields, vertical directivity consideration, bottom loss sensitivity studies, and other related studies. The bulk of the material summarized here has been previously reported in original form in various papers and reports. (Author)
