Abstract

A description of the sea floor with respect to underwater acoustic transmission giving rise to reflection and scattering is studied. The plane wave reflection coefficients and scattering coefficients are estimated from the topographic features of the floor and the physical properties of the sediments. A bottom loss model for an area off west coast of India is presented.
