Advanced Physics-Based Modeling of Discrete Clutter and Diffuse Reverberation in the Littoral Environment

Abstract

This technique has the potential for direct observation of the clutter feature of interest and can study small scale spatial variability and isolated features, due to the small distances between the source, receiver and the clutter features. This measurement technique requires both a short transmit pulse and a vertical receive array to mitigate the problems of multipath and care must be taken to avoid contamination by sub-bottom reflections at normal incidence.
