Ocean Bottom/Subbottom Seismic-Acoustic Scattering with Realistic Sediment Properties

Abstract

The project objectives was to develop a seismic-acoustic scattering model describing the short-range (<100 L) interaction of sonar radiation with realistic models of ocean bottom sediments. Accomplishments were achieved in studies of: (1) Shear velocity in unconsolidated sediments; (2) Slowness domain transformation; and (3) Velocity on sandstones.
