Multiple Scatter Theory of Ocean Sediments.

Abstract

To develop a new model of acoustic bottom backscatter from sandy sediments, based on a multiple scattering theory approach, and hence, properly explain observed phenomena, including Lambert's rule and frequency dependence of backscattering strength, particularly at shallow grazing angels, for which current theories are at a loss.
