Analysis of Scattering Data from a Thin-Sediment Area for the Bottom Interaction Program.

Abstract

The contractor analyzed available horizontal and vertical array data acquired during Overbid Leo Leg 4 to estimate angle and time spreads versus grazing angle and number of bounces of bottom-bounce signals in thin-sediment areas. Comparisons with existing theories were made to evaluate their ability to model these phenomena using independent environmental data. This final report briefly summarizes results of two contract reports: Angle, Time and Frequency Spreads from a Thin-Sediment Area of the Northeast Pacific Ocean; and Shallow Sub-bottom Reflectors in the N.E. Pacific--Distribution and Physical properties.
