Program BTLS Technical Description Selection of Input Data, and Running Instructions

Abstract

This report documents the computer program BTLS which is used to compute geophysical parameters of the ocean bottom from measurements of bottom loss of underwater sound and simulated bottom loss of underwater sound from geophysical parameters of the ocean bottom. Physical assumptions and the mathematical model used for the computations are discussed, and sources or derivations of all necessary equations used in the program are given. Guidelines are provided for interpretation of experimentally measured results and selection of input data to use in computations.
