Summary of Recent Results in Acoustic Bottom Interaction.

Abstract

This report summarizes research carried out on acoustic interaction with the sea floor, Major topics considered are propagation in a range variable environment using mode-mode coupling methods and the effect of sediment rigidity on bottom reflection loss. Additional topics are the coherence of bottom interacting energy and the effects of bottom roughness (scattering).
