A Summary of Recent Research on Acoustic Bottom Interaction.

Abstract

This report summarizes research on the acoustic interaction with the sea floor. Major topics considered are bottom structures having near-surface layering, and propagation over slopes. Other topics include bottom interaction in shallow water, the effects of bottom roughness, and the bottom interaction phase shift. (Author)
