• Description:
  A literature survey has found work dealing with the problem of echo-formation for rough sedimentary bottoms. The main attempts at practical application have been at frequencies lower than those used for echo-sounding work. A model has been formulated that includes the effect of surface scattering and volume scattering in a unified manner. This model has been implemented on the AOML computer and exercised for a variety of bottom types and echo-sounding frequencies.
