Acoustic prereverberation caused by sound scattering from the rough sea sur
face is considered. For the case of low-frequency scattering described by t
he first approximation of the small perturbation method, the arrival times
and angles of prereverberation signals in the subsurface sound channel are
calculated as functions of the wind speed, sound frequency, and distance. (
