Quantifying Sediment Volume Inhomogeneity for Modeling High-Frequency Acoustic Backscatter

Abstract

As part of ONR s Sediment Acoustics EXperiment (SAX 99), the long-term goal of this research is to develop an approach for deriving acoustically relevant descriptions of seafloor sediments for modeling high-frequency sound scattering.
