Shallow Water Coupled Scattering and Reflection Measurements
Abstract
The characteristics of shallow water reverberation are often controlled by interaction with the seabed. This interaction includes both reflection and scattering processes. New techniques for measuring shallow water reflection and scattering have been developed that are coupled. The coupled nature of the measurements implies not only that they arc conducted at the same locations, but that the measurements of the reflection provide significant keys for unravelling the scattering data. In particular, very high resolution geoaeoustic data are extracted from the reflection data, which provide crucial inputs for the modelling of the scattering data 1-6 kHz reflection and scattering measurements from the Malta Plateau illustrate the advantages of the coupled measurement approach.
