Acoustic Scattering by Shell-Covered Seafloors

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the acoustic reverberation properties of the seafloor when benthic shells are present. Quantitative characterization of these properties will lead to improved capability in predicting sonar performance and use of sonars in the mapping of benthic shells.
