Ai. Belov et Ag. Komarov, AN ACOUSTIC MODEL OF THE SHALLOW SEA BOTTOM FROM GEOLOGICAL-GEOPHYSICAL STUDIES AND ACOUSTIC PROPAGATION EXPERIMENTS, Acoustical physics, 44(3), 1998, pp. 260-264
An acoustic model of the sea bottom in a shallow water region is devel
oped on the basis of geological-geophysical data and the results of ex
perimental studies of sound propagation and sound reflection from the
sea bottom. The model consists of two absorbing fluid layers and a sol
id halfspace. The computational results are compared with the experime
ntal data on sound propagation in a wide frequency range.
